Lovely scene. I liked the colours and the composition. The shutter speed was quite less, but you have taken it nicely. You could have used ISO 400. The clouds framing the sun look good. Did you try any more compositions with the sun more closer to the horizon? Thanks for sharing.

Nice image. I agree with Mrudul's comments. About 2/3 rd stop negative EC would have been even been even better.

When you are clicking these kind of shots, avoid looking directly at the Sun through the viewfinder as that can damage your eyes.

thanks, Do you mean to say the image is little over exposed, because light was low, i thought of using 200 to avoid noise. pl clarify.
I have been very careful not to look directly into the sun. once again thanks.
Mrudul, I have taken quite a lot of images as a trial .I have enclosed closeup of the same image

The repost is nice, but I personally liked the earlier composition better with the reflection. I was looking for a composition with the sun more closer to the horizon, so it is more red and the colours look more nice. Thanks for sharing.

I prefer the original composition. In the repost, the reflection is lost. The reflection was providing another point of interest and was balancing the Sun. In the repost, without the reflection, our gaze goes more towards the "empty" horizon. Also, in the repost, one can see the waves upclose and to get the waves better you would have needed a slightly higher shutter speed.

In my previous comment, I had said and Exposure Compensation of -2/3, because that would have made the image a bit darker and the clouds would have become more prominent.
