Having the horizon line less centered would help make this image more dynamic

Nice perspect close to the surface of the water. Light reflected off the ripples is the strength of this image. Simplicity is it's virtue.

The horizon might be just a touch low on the left side. Though it is common at DPC for skies to have blow out, overexposed areas like you have here and some place very high in challenges it is not a good practice. You should always strive to prevent or correct it unless there is a powerful reason to include it.

The image is low contrast and needs to have a black point properly set.

nice detail in the water constasting the darker sky.......the water is so beautiful at sunset..

Rule of thirds - the horizon line should be 1/3 from the top or the bottom. Or at least not smack in the middle is preferable (I've made this mistake too, and got buzzed for it)
Nice water reflections and motion.

Horizon is tilted. Seems to be a conflict between the water and sky to see who represent the photographer's intent.

Looks just like black ink. Nice reflection!
