Very nice idea here Ricardo. I like how the brightness falls off toward the righthand side, which perfectly suits the dark shadowed fisherman. It would have been great if you could have made more of those boats on the horizon - as it is they are quite difficult to see against the low cloud.
On the technical side, it's a little too soft. I tried sharpening but it really didn't bring out any more detail, so I'm guessing that f/5.6 is to blame here (for a landscape such as this with good foreground and distant subject you need a much larger DOF - f/22 or so). The softness is probably also caused by a bit of camera shake, so I'd recommend a tripod in future (and even mirror lockup if your camera offers that feature).

I expected a lovely sunset, and I got it, but it is also a very fun surprise to see the fisherman there on the right! Nicely done!

Excelente ocaso! Gosto da composição pela sua cor quente e pelo magnífico enquadramento com o pescador a dar muita vida do lado direito. Esta digital não está a dar as fotos com 100% de definição ou o que é que se passa? ABRAÇO

The fisherman anchors this photograph. Definitely makes it better than without. It is a little bit too close to the right for my taste though.
