Adding one point after second look. I like the overall sunset colors, but doesn't quite meet the rule of thirds as compared to some of the other entries I've seen.

Good use of the wave to meet the rule

First of all, the tiny portion of the beach seen in the lower right corner does not serve any purpose in this image and should be cropped out. In fact you should have tilted the camera slightly upwards when taking the picture so a bit more of the would've been included. As it is, the sky doesn't really fulfil the rule of thirds reqs. set out in the challenge description.
Also, you should have pointed the camera slightly more to the right (or left?) so the two small islands would sit where the lines dividing the frame into thirds intersect.

Other than that I find these standard sunset photographs to be a bit boring (but that's just me) and I feel that you should have tried to include something to make the picture slightly more interesting.
Perhaps some rocks or a growing on the beach below or a person looking at the sunset?
Another trick would have been to mount the camera on a tripod and use a long exposure (1/2 second or more) to get a smooth texture of the sea.

But as it is, it's just another sunset picture as I see it. No disrespect here though, it's not like I don't have my fair share of those. ;)
