There's a lot of good stuff in this photograph, but I think it's actually a mixture of two different images.

On the one hand, it's a fine sunset. I love the clouds, the subtle colors of the sunset. I love the grasses in the foreground, and the surf and rocks in the middle. There's a strong center at the sun, with the rays of light, the clouds, and even many of the grasses pointing toward it, and the land itself leading us around and up to the sun.

On the other hand, it's a portrait of a working village, the the typical suburban dwellings in the distance, and the sheds and boats of the working fisherman closer to the viewer, on the beach with the surf and the rocks nearby, and the grey vegetation bespeaking the harshness of the conditions. This ALSO has a strong visual center, at the beach, with the motion of the waves pushing the eye toward it, and the edges of the water leading the eye. This isn't a beautiful image, it's a gritty, realistic one.

So, there are two competing images here, I think, and each detracts and distracts from the other. I don't see any easy resolution, and maybe that's what you were going for in the first place.
