Ball Of Fire

I am a beginner, so any advice is appreciated. How can these kind of

pictures be improved? What did I do wrong here?

A picture of a great big sun, the shades of pink and purple are lovely, but the huge expanse of black foliage and the (?) bus-stop do nothing here, try recropping to a near-abstract and see what else you can come up with. 4/4

Joel, as I said I am a beginner and am trying to understand "how to compose". I didn't want the sun alone.

 

Actual photo had quite a lot around the crop.
