I don't even know if I'm supposed to over- or under expose. I never done a
digital sunset before.
But sometimes I'm just plain lucky.
I kinda like this one. What do you think:

I like it a lot Jens.
Metering a sunset is pretty simple. Point the camera toward the sky so
the sun is just out of the frame (left or right - the sun will throw
your meter reading off if you include it in the frame) and spot meter.
Set your exposure accordingly. If you want the sky a medium tone then
expose it for medium tone. If you want it slightly lighter then expose a
half stop above medium etc.
I think you got this one exactly right. I really like the composition.
