Of the two I prefer the second. In the first the tiny glimpse of waves in the foreground is more of a distraction from the shot whereas in the second the foreground rocks and the wave sweeping in from the left anchor the shot.

Interestingly your PP matches how I initially did mine - very red/orange, but not really "natural". I went back and redid mine to tone that down and make them less hot. This is probably the biggest problem with sunset shots. We are very conditioned through repeated exposure to such shots to expect sunset shots will have this strong red/orange glow to them. While they can have this, it's more usual that they are in the blues and pinks.

Finally. One really strong thing about both shots is it almost hurts my eyes to look at the sun in them just like the real thing!
