This is the first time I have actually shot a sunset with a specific image already in my head of what I wanted it to look like. Of the sixty shots I took, this one is what I wanted it to be!

a nice color in the clouds.
but there isn't really anything else going on that makes me want to linger on the picture.
maybe a boat sailing in the background?
or some rocks/shells/dunes or something in the foreground?
Maybe those things weren't available to you, but ultimately that's where your shot has let you down.
In my opinion of course :-)
it's beautiful, but you need some foreground interest here...a log or rock or even just a slice of beach would do...I'd also suggest using a split ND filter here to hold back the sun...try stopping down the aperture next time, as that will create a nice star burst effect that would really add interest to the shot.
Today a man found a massive burning orb on the beach. Thinking quickly, he donned a fire retardant shoe and kicked the ball of fire out over the ocean. There he quickly took a photo of the feat and submitted it to DPC.
