Nice sunset, though things seem a little soft. I see some compression artifacts around the overhead lights. Your file size of only 58k indicates a highly compressed image and that is what is robbing a lot of the detail and sharpness from this image. Check your compression settings when you save your file. Always adjust JPEG compression so that your file size is as large as possible, but within the challenge limit. (150k for this one)

Here is how the compression is adjusted in PaintShop Pro, if it helps at all. Of course, I don't know what you are editing with.

The shot doesn't seem very sharp or is a little out-of-focus.

Pretty sky, but I think the lack of sharpness in the foreground detracts from the overall impact.
