IMO .. your watermark is to distracting & ruins the photo's.

What's a real watermark & why even bother having one?

I didn't mean real but generic from lightroom. I have one to protect my photos from being stolen off the internet. smile

Shooting sunsets is a challenge, you did fairly well. smile I think you need to bring the subject lighter in post.

It's good that you don't have too much blowouts. The top/ambient throwback light from the atmosphere is kind of distracting on the model's skin, it's a little too shiny basically, and I think that might become a problem in post if you try to lighten the model.

With respect to the older photos, I think you need to have the light brighten where you want the audience to look at. Some you did well, others were a bit too uniform so it isn't clear where you want the audience to look, example:

This needs a bit more color/saturation and it would be awesome:

I think the logo should be in regular weight font instead of bold.
