This sunset was taken at Sanibel Beach Florida

Please give me some input on this photo.

Horizon is sloping downward and in the center of the picture. Whats the first rule of composition?

Yep. Horizon lets this down.

 

Is the lens glare intentional?

Tilted horizon, an almost 50-50 split, ghosting and wee bit of over exposure detract from what could have been a good shot. A bit of time in Photoshop can fix all of these "faults".

here's a 2 minute editing job ->

Nicely done, Michael!

Thanks Michael for helping me out on that. I'll tell my wife as she submited this photo without it being altered. I guess she thought this photo was ready. I appreciate always and respect all inputs from everyone.

 

Cheers Gary. I must point out that I can't resist a sunset photo, no matter how many times I see them. In your photo, i particularly love the clouds on the right, and the opposing colours above and below the cloudline.
