The first thing that strikes me about this photo is that it might be improved if you crop off a little of the left.
This would serve to put the sun and its reflection a little more off-centre, and it would also remove the partial boat that's cut by the left edge of the frame.
Maybe it's my eye, but the horizon looks very slightly out-of-kilter. Is it very slightly up at the right?

Nice shot! by: Angie
Hi Mark,
I like this picture, but I think it's the colours that aren't vibrant enough.
Not your fault. Just got to pick your moment. I live near Bournemouth lol.

More saturation maybe? by:
Mark,
I like your shot. I really do. But I also know what you mean when you say that it is not a "killer" shot.
Here's my thinking . . . the sunset doesn't seem "intense" enough. The colours are a bit too weak.
The thing with sunsets (well, it always seems to me) is that they always get just a little bit better a few minutes later.
I reckon that if you had waited a few minutes more you might have had better colours - more saturated.
