Like the needle with the foot! That, with the thread, gives the picture a nice composition.

Very nice. I'm enjoying many of your photographs. The sea spray up over the rock is a nice overlay to the sunset.

Nice coloration. Good contrast in both light and texture.

Excellent quality silhouette. Good clarity and solid blacks. The natural framing with the tree branches is very good.

Though the two bright openings in the clouds are why you took the picture in the first place they are both overexposed spots which is really a defect in most images. It is very difficult to get lighting correct in a basic challenge like this without overexposing them.
On the technical side there is a lot of dark space at the bottom of the frame. There is something like a reflection down there but the viewer really cannot tell what it is. When that happens the item becomes a distraction in the image. You might consider cropping out the whole bottom portion of the image. That will better highlight the part you originally took the picture for anyway.
