Very beautiful sunset. Very interesting sky and I like how you waited until the sun was almost behind the clouds, but not quite. Compositionally the photo is a little dull, as if you might be relying too much on the sunset itself to make the photo.
the foreground looks very washed-out/hazy a contrast layer adjustment to just the water beach and rocks would've really helped this image to pop over all. much like the sky does on its own.
Nice. Love the colours, hope they're natural or close, the sand and the rocks amd clouds let the sun to be the objecr of focus. 9/10 - would've been better without some of the grain and noise.
