This is a pic. of the sun going down on top of the ridge where I live. It really is a stunning view and I want to share it with you. I feel as though I did something wrong would appreciate some one to tell me what it was. Thank-you.

Definitely... sunrise/sunsets often show very beautiful elements of weather like cloud formations and nice atmospheric colors. Interestingly enough, pollution helps create some interesting sunrises and sunsets also :)
Emotional/Artistic Impact:
I think your color in this photo is probably the key. The blue and pink hues in the sky are saturated nicely and create a lot of color interest for me. I believe it needs some extras to improve this area and I will mention those in the Composition comments...
Composition:
I think this photo could be stronger it two ways. 1 - there is nothing interesting in the foreground. I would have possibly framed this differently to cut out some of the foreground and include more sky. I would have probably included MORE of the telephone poles and wires on the right to create somethign of interest in the image besides the color. The horizon itself doesn't offer any particularly interesting shapes and contrasts in the image, so these poles could offer that extra 'rural' element that could make this photo stronger in the long run.
Technical:
I don't see anything to comment on here for the technical aspects of the photo. The exposure looks good and the color saturation is fine as well. There is good sharpness and the overall image definition is fine...
telephone poles are distracting on the right edge. Not much to hold interest in the image not enough color, clouds(weather) and the dark nothing of the siloute area is not interesting either. Good concept, try again....
Nice photo -- I think it might be a bit more effective, though, if you cropped out some of the black in the foreground so that the setting (rising?) sun had more focus.
