Greetings from the CC, I think the elements that help to make your photo are the bird and the lighting. The photo does seem to tilt, not sure if the horizon is actually crooked or if seems so because of the sand in the lower left to lower right edge. I believe cropping this section out, tho leaving the bird a little tight would serve to create a 1/3 2/3 image a bit more. It may also help the viewer not to want to tilt head so much to look at it. The bird the sun add a nice balance to the shot, they create a good tension. If the shutter speed was a little faster it may have helped to get a bit sharper waves. Overall a nice sunset shot.
Well done and happy shooting!

Great sunset and a nice example of how a simple single element in the foreground - the gull - can make all the difference between boring and interesting.

Nice. Great reflection of the fiery sun on the water with the waves gently washing the shore and the bird balancing out the weight of the reflection. Love the contrast of the sun as it bleeds out through the clouds to skim over the waves to the shore.

The shoreline is a distraction for me and I wonder if you thought of a crop at the bottom to even out the tilt?

Great shot. Nice colorcast. The gull may be out of there. The dawn it´s not of the gulls age. :))

nice sunset, the bird definitely adds to the composition, alsoa different image for the sign Aquarius than a jug with water! I appreciate that - it's original! 8
