You have Artefacts, blown out areas, noise, white balance problems, chromatic aberration. I didn't check all your pictures, but all I did check have some or all of these problems.
Artefacts (halo effects) due to sharpening:

Noise and white balance, out of focus (lens border?), chromatic aberration, other artefacts...:

Artefacts and blown out areas:

If you have the raw files, you may be able to use less aggressive processing. I doubt, however, that the pictures can be saved for stock use.
A tip: when taking pictures like this, put your camera into all manual mode and use exposure bracket. You need a tripod, but I suppose you had one. Don't process aggressively. And expect stringent vetting because sunset/sunrise pictures are among the best represented in the database.
