The shock and awe of a sunset and/or sunrise depends on the following:
1) Relative position of the sun to the camera...behind, front, low, very low...etc
2) The quality of the gear ... wideangle, large f stop f(f2.8), pixels, filter, etc with cheap gear you can lose almost all the effect
3) The dramatics of weather ... best is storm clouds (coming or going) bright sun peaking through horizon... if you got that (sunrise or sunset) its will be shock and awe ... especially with a great sea/land scape and a wide andle lens (at least 110 degee angle)
