Good composition. Pretty seascape. Just a bit of lens barrel distortion (horizon dips in the middle... high on left and right). You can fix that. Acute angle to the sun is always going to be a challenge to enhance any details in the shadows. You've done a good job.

Another day ends on the planet Dumak. Once the beautiful, but dangerous sun is gone from the sky, then the inhabitants come out of the water to forage for lichens and aquatic grasses. Unfortunately, they will find none in this locale, as the harsh radioactive summer has scorched the rocks barren. It is a hard life.

Love the vibrant sunset. The corners seem I little bit too dark, for me, specially at the bottom. Nevertheless an impressive image.

Love the rock textures, but the sky is a bit busy. Dynamic lighting is great and brilliant colors give this image a total of 7/10 with possibility of fav in he future...
