Actually, I didn't mean to deceive anybody, but I forgot to change the type camera used for this photo. I saw this gorgeous sunset and grabbed my little Nokia cell phone, quickly changed the setting to camera, and swung it around to my left side while I was driving a 70 mph northbound on I-95 between Jacksonville and Savannah, GA.

I am thrilled to get a 4.55 on a cellphone photo! :)

The sky is gorgeous, but i would have to say the car in the center is a little distracting.

The brightness of the sun is distracting IMO. I think I would have used a faster shutter speed and waited for the car to go by JMO.

The colours lead your eye straight to the van, which isn't what you want. I think there should be more foreground as in the rule of thirds.
