The strong area here is in the sun and the clouds. As there is no light on the sea I would crop away at least half of that area. Also rotate about 2 degrees right to straighten up that horizon. You can get away with sloping horizons on land but the horizon on sea will always be level. :-)

Hi jabed. Wonderful sunset! I wish the horizon were straighter though. I did a workshop to demonstrate, but you are not allowing them. Too bad!

Nice sunset photo. i like the sun colors.I agree with Keitht and Jmaddocks, the image must be croped.

Nice atmosphere you captured here Jabed, but as Keith says – the main area is the sun and the clouds. The water contributes in no way to the picture and I too would crop out at least half of the water. Also the horizon must be in level.

Beside of that it is a very nice picture.

The most dominant subject is the sun. I can see why you left all that water below as it contributes the perspective - but it also 'kills' the colour developing around sun and the sky by its dull dark colour.
Therefore, cropping and some minor adjustements can be made to make this interesting shot more attractive (see workshop).
Keep taking photos of sunsets!

Wonderful colors for this sunshine ! Only one thing is not perfect : the horizon is not straight.
