Hi Bibhav,

Nice low angle photograph. Liked the composition. The rays of the setting sun on the water are interesting. A little more space to the right would have enhanced the composition further, getting the tracks and the rays as well .

Keep posting..

Agree with Mrudul, showing the tracks would strengthen the image.

Agree with previous comments. Did you recover the highlights a lot? The colours in the water should have been deeper.

No change to the original image, slight sharpening and straightened tilted horizon...
