to me the original photo looks romantic.. full of feelings of expression... whereas the edited one jus felt like a normal sunset...

foxtwo said:the reason u feel unease over your picture is due to the unbalanced composition.
While the two points of land at opposite ends of the frame do well to contain the viewer within the centre but notice how little ur points of anchor between the foreground interest and main subject dominates the entire image. that effectively leaves 3/4 of negative space. the imaginary line is incomplete leaving the viewer nowhere to go after reaching the sun.
as such, it is preferred that the subjects of interest (for landscape) be placed at diagonal corners of each other to cover the entire frame. I've also cropped off the foreground slightly. And notice that the guy in white effectively acts as the start/end of the imaginary line.
Colours wise, i believe it's a minor issue.

foxtwo said:hmmm this is jus one way to solve this image, for it so happens u already have a ready made picture within. it may not be for other images for there are many other factors to consider other & including the use of 'space'. Some images benefit from negative space to balance itself, (not possible in this image). i trust u will learn to apply appropriately to suit your tastes.
