Your pic at 1/125 sec, f/8.0 is still so bright. What time was it? Did you have to tweak the image?

Where did you meter on?

I find the color tone at the top and bottom halves quite different, any filters used?

in what way are the colors unnatural? looks like a perfectly beautiful, serene, sunset scene to me - the sky is reddish orange, the sea is bluish-green, the shadows are black.

In real life, some sunsets (especially if you are in the northern or southern hemisphere) are even more vivid and colorful than the insipid ones we get at the tropics.

Well I might be wrong The color tones between the top and bottom half look unmatching(?) to me. And the colors of those clouds just above the horizon. Overall a very 'forced' kind of picture imo.

Huh? Forced??? I think it looks pretty nice... not always you can get nice colours in Singapore. If you think this is forced and unnatural, wait till you see those in Australia/New Zealand and elsewhere.
