I'm no pro in photography but I feel like giving my two cents and maybe it will be helpful for anyone.
I really love the colour, how the blue reflections of the water turn into the sunset's yellow tones. Also the quality of the picture itself is out of question. The sharp edges of the groynes (or whatever this has one been) and the lighthouse build a perfect contrast to the floating water and the soft light of the sun.

What I cannot cotton up to is the composition. The horizon is strictly in the middle what gives me (and maybe it really is only me) the impression that the photographer could not decide wheter to expose the water or the sky resulting in doing it only one half each. Are there clouds anywhere in the sky that are touched by this amazing light or is there a beach with shimmering sand the water can play with? The picture just doesn't show it. I feel like there is something kept from me. Also the elements (sun, lighthouse and groynes) are arranged in a way that the eye does not know what to concentrate on first. All the elements are very eye catching but look like scattered randomly on the picture with out being related to each other. They are all separated. I don't know the spot so maybe you already made the best out of it but I think a little experimenting with the perspective, e. g. obliterating the elements behind each other, could improve your already very good work.

I think this sounded harder than it should. I honestly like this picture and my own photographs are not half this good. You did a great job and created an amazing atmosphere.

"Tyler was pulling driftwood logs out of the surf and dragging them up the beach. In the wet sand, he’d already planted a half circle of logs so they stood a few inches apart and as tall as his eyes. There were four logs, and when I woke up, I watched Tyler pull a fifth log up the beach. Tyler dug a hole under one end of the log, then lifted the other end until the log slid into the hole and stood there at a slight angle. With a stick Tyler drew a straight line in the sand several feet away. Tyler went back to straighten the log by stamping sand around its base. I was the only person watching this.

I asked if Tyler was an artist. Tyler shrugged and showed me how the five standing logs were wider at the base. Tyler showed me the line he’d drawn in the sand, and how he’d use the line to gauge the shadow cast by each log. What Tyler had created was the shadow of a giant hand. Only now the fingers were Nosferatu-long and the thumb was too short, but he said how at exactly four-thirty the hand was perfect. The giant shadow hand was perfect for one minute, and for one perfect minute Tyler had sat in the palm of perfection he’d created himself. One minute was enough, Tyler said, a person had to work had for it, but a minute of perfection was worth the effort. A moment was the most you could ever expect from perfection." -except from the 'Fight Club' book

First thing I thought of when I saw this!
