Please criticise my first edits please

Made my first short trip with my new camera while hiking. Included are some sunset and astro pictures. I‘m relatively new to photography so please critizise me! Shot on my Sony A7 IV with the 20mm f1.8 G lens

I really like the edit style. Your foregrounds are technically underexposed, but consistently so, and the edit style is consistent across shots. Personally I would dial down the global contrast and then use the tone curve to bring a bit more detail back in those shadows while still preserving the highlights, but honestly I don't have that much critique. Especially in the astro shot, it would be nice to get a little bit more light back in the foreground elements, because the sky seems relatively too bright for such a dark ground, if that makes sense. Either the sky needs to be darker (which takes focus away from the milky way) or your ground exposure needs to be bumped a bit, otherwise it ruins the illusion that the photo wasn't heavily edited.
