fl-18mm
f-11
ss-1/10
iso-400
for your evaluation

Nice landscape. Some less space at the bottom would be good. The shutter speed was quite less, you could have increased the ISO. I think there is a slight tilt, you can correct that. Thanks for sharing.

Uma,
It seems that you missed the sunset colours. When the Sun sets, one needs to be ready as the right moment when the Sun is not very hot and when it casts lovely colours.

The horizon is tilted. While clicking you need to keep that in mind.

Your shutter speed was very less. You can increase the ISO or decrease the aperture from f18 to around f11 or so. That will increase the shutter speed. Also, if you find a rock or a stable surface, then place your camera and click. If you are able to leave the camera on a rock or cement surface, then frame the image, start the timer and press the shutter and leave the camera. After the 2 second or 10 second delay (which ever you choose), then camera will click. That will give you a sharp image.

I agree with you. I tried some of the images in the late evenings using iso 200, but it takes lot of time to click. since it is always handheld, i got shaky images.
i will keep in mind all your suggestions in future.
