I very much like the composition and contrasts of the image, good job. One small suggestion would be to edit out the lens flares (2 of them) right above the rocks and maybe crop out the top portion (1/3) of the sky, other than than nice job, tough to take a pic with the sun providing more than enough light! If you were to crop I could see this as a really nice 10 X 20 print. Again, nice job.
Thank you very much Bill. I left the photo as original, but was considering taking out the lens flares, but cropping the sky down does improve it, thank you very much
Good shot. Another suggestion for sun sets and sunrises is to use a neutral density filter. A ND3 or even a ND4 would have taken out a lot of the glare of the sun and made it a sharp round ball. Not saying that's better just a different effect.
Joseph I for one appreciate your input on the use of filters, I remain very close to a filter virgin and don't take advantage of filters as another tool.
