Technicals: While you kept the exposure on the sky (that's important), it was only at the cost of very much reduced detail in the land. You want to do one of two things here. 1) burn the land into complete sillouette or 2) use either a graduated ND filter or processing techniques (such as tone mapping or HDRI) to bring up the detail. You may have been able to do the poor man version of 2 by bringing up midtones in the picture.
The feel: I have learned that the best sunsets have very interesting cloud formations. That's lacking in this shot. Not your fault, but it still limits the picture.
The game: You can see by the overwhelming number of 5 votes that people didn't think the shot was bad, but were hardly excited by it. (no 9s no 10s) The best thing you could have done would have been to pick a day with more interesting clouds (if that were possible). |

| a little more defvinition or color in the sky would have been nice, but a nice scenic shot none the less. |
