I like #2, The yellow in the center really looks nice. I like where you place the horizon and the colors are great, nice picture There is some lens distortion in #1 though.

Good colors. Needs more of the sky filled with the sunset.
The leaning lamp posts seem to be caused by a lens distortion as they are leaning towards the center of the photograph. Avoid having very straight object near the edge of lens when shooting wide angle shots and it will not be as noticeable. If you want to use them to create an internal frame, perhaps accent or make even more noticeable the bend so it doesn't seem like an afterthought or error.
Basic Sunsets will benefit from a 'clean' horizon or a very silhouetted foreground. An object or building or natural feature like a mountain don't 'compete' with the sky when in silhouette. There's a lot of parking lot in the second photo and the first has blurry elements which detract from the photos overall impact.
A tripod often assists greatly with sunsets. You can get the best Depth of Field and the resultant slow shutter will be taken care of by the tripod.
Getting a really good sunset can be frustrating, but keep at it.
