Adur river sunset looking towards lancing College

I would appreciate any view on this shot? Is it too subtle? Many thanks

William.

Thanks No dirt spots, if you view them large they are birds. Many thanks Jim

Nice image with lovely colors. Painterly. To my view the composition leans a bit too far to the right with the island and the shoreline pointing more to the bridge and the bright clouds. Also there may be a bit too much blank sky. As an aside, when my birds look like dust spots, I usually clone them out. The longer landscape exposures tend to make them fuzzy anyway. Here's a pictorial suggestion based on above comments. Steve

Many thanks Steve I like your crop. Best wishes William

The exposure is very well done as the sunset and tonality are not overpowering in any way.The colors on the right edge look to be interesting and I would be curious to see any other shots that were panned right more.

For me the main subject (being the city I would assume) isn't prominent to carry the image so this scene becomes more about the water and the sunset than it does about the city. As such there is a vastness to this photo that makes it feel a little empty.
