Hi Charif, most of your shots are not leveled, you might want to take note of that .

Did you bought the kit lens together with D5000? if yes, i would suggest you shoot landscape with the kit lens(18mm-55mm) since the 18mm-35mm will be wider and allow better composition than the fixed 35mm on ur 35mm,f1.8.

Also i realise that your pics seems abit grainy n not sharp. Are you using the correct settings?

Just a suggestion, ISO 200, aperture mode, f11, LS, 2sec timer and with ur tripod

Hi, I wasn't part of the outing, but I was there shooting the sunrise too. I live around the West, you see. Here are some of my shots to share; hope you guys won't mind. I will gladly remove them if requested.

This has a nice feel as well with the sun rising and element of people by the track side.
But do take note of the distortion on the buildings on the left.

Hi scholesville, thanks for your feedback. I was using a 8mm fisheye lens to capture this pic. How do you think I could eliminate the distortion on the buildings in the left part of the picture? Thanks a lot.
