Hi Neeth, a slightly late welcome to TE. At a rough guess, about 1 in 20 photos on TE is of a sunrise or sunset. So a sunset has to be very good in order to succeed. I'm afraid yours doesn't for several reasons: firstly, the sunset itself is nothing special; secondly, the horizon is not level; thirdly, the composition of the people on the beach is not strong - am I meant to look at the man in the white shirt, the men in the sea, or the people passing with the cart? There is no strong focal point; fourthly, the date stamp is distracting and unattractive. Please don't take my comments personally as I mean them to be constructive and helpful to you. I look forward to seeing more of your work. I'm very sorry that I can't award a smiley this time. Stephen

Nice colours of sunset but the date and time stamp shouldn't be there first (this is unacceptable for a picture on display!) and you should work more for a better composition, focusing on the subject and removing disturbing facts form the main subject -like the people on the right of the picture-. Also the horizon should be level. I strongly believe we will see your better pictures soon if you take these critics positively and work for improving day by day. Thanks for sharing!
