You could tilt this a degree clockwise, it feels off. The sun is quite blinding, but then I'm still working on how to control that one myself. Try closing down your aperature if you can and expose darker, then post-process lighten selectively. So glad you're in a happy place :)

Very colourful sky and good DOF and a pleasant picture to look at, although I find nothing to *really* grab my attention, if you see what I mean.

Pretty, but too busy

Shooting at the sun without a proper filter has seriously greyed out your image.

I think the contrast could be increased to add more dramatic effect to the pohoto. I also feel the sky should be cropped slightly lower to improve the composition.

Horizon seems to slope to the left. Also, dark thing at lower right doesn't add to composition. Nice colors.
