The Last Moment to Escape Photo

Photographer’s Note

Long ago...
I've adored to stare at the sunsets...
...and every time I had been so melancholic. I've known those sunsets are unique and unrepeatable. I felt that, there is happening somethihg beautiful, superb on the horizon, but I haven't been a part of it. In that, last moments of the luminous crying, I've wanted to be there, to burn down, to melt oneself in the splendor...
I've been searching a way to escape in eternity of the scenery.
Lucky them, they had hurried up and were successful - it was the final moment to escape in eternty! LeOS

P.S. Picture was cropped for a little - right side - and cleaned with NeatImagePro.

Giving you two points here: one for the photo and one for the note. ;-D
This one can maybe pass as a postcard but from both artistic and technical POV there are some flaws I can't agree with:
1. composition: the sun is centered horizontally; it may work with much less of the sky, but having human presence in the lower right corner it just doesn't work - vice versa: if the boat was the only element within the frame worth looking at it, its place in the corner would be justified.
2. technic: water surface resembles some strange happening with its colour: wether it's because of that huge halo from the setting sun... I don't know... and it seems a bit too light (but may be my monitor as well!)
Another point is that the horizon line appears to be zigzagged like it sometimes happens during the process of rotating the original image.
This was my most honest opinion. Hope it helps.
