Not much to criticise I think they're all rather good. Like the lines of clouds in the first one and the second is my fave. Then the third is lovely and gorgeous crisp, clean sky in the last.

2 & 4 for me too! both have nice defined shilouets (think that how it's spelt), where as mentioned before the others are a little dark so the foregroud objects are hidden in the darkness.

I'm a big fan of using grads. So all but the fisherman shots, that's what I'd recommend you try next time. These are great shots apart from the darkness and dark forground. You've included the forground in the picture, so I would be nice to see it.
The Fisherman shot is nice as it is though, works well. I'd just change where the horizon is, by placing it on a third (for all the shots).

I have used some grads and I will post the pix for you to see. and compare I just preferred these and they do not look as dark on my monitor. The feedback is much appreciated. By the way the shots artaken in Barmouth and the sun is setting over the Llynn peninsular and Cardigan bay

I am not as blown away by these as some of the others. Don't get me wrong, they are not BAD, in fact #2 is a bit of a belter but the others have defects that make them really nice colours but not great pictures.
#1 & 3 both appear soft. Perhaps you chose the wrong focusing point or perhaps the camera moved but they do not look sharp.
#4 is sharp. And the colours are good too. So what is your griff Mr HUN? Well the composition is a little lazy. I often like a horizon appearing in the middle (which is against conventional wisdom) but in this case I agree with this often stated rule. It takes any dynamics away from the picture and it just doesn't come to life in the way it should. An altered position could have avoided this.
As has been said ND filters help in this situation however in #2 you worked the exposure REALLY well without this advantage and should be the shot that you retain from this group!

Have to agree....number 2 is a corker. Number 4 could do with some of the foreground cropped out, to bring it back to the thirds rule. (It looks better that way IMHO). Otherwise, it too is good.

I like the darkness and that you can't see the sun in 1 and 3, don't know why but they're my fav, and the colours are amazing!
