the top of the image is distracting. either you need more of the sunset or none at all.

Nice idea - but having the strong colour at the top tends to drag my eye there, rather than to the interesting fence pattern.

too much grey.

The very thin line of sunset at the top of the picture is very distracting. I would have either included more or taken it out completely.

IMO the horizon line looks odd so close to the top.

I like the idea a lot! I would have liked to see more of the sky and the lower portion brightened up a bit.

Under exposed.

This has potential to be a good shot, but to me, it is lacking in a couple of basic fundamental areas. I know the rules of composition are nothing more than guidelines and can be broken. Give this link a quick look. It may be of help to you in positioning your horizon or at least give you some options to consider.

In this case, I think I would have cropped the sky completely out, or included it only if it would fill at least the top 1/3 of the photo. Then maybe a couple tweaks of brightness and contrast. I hope this has been helpful to you.

Argh! I can barely see the sunset! Had to go looking for it. And the dunes seem really washed out, even if they were in shadow. I'd like to see more sky; perhaps the red of the sunset gilding the fence posts. This image certainly meets the challenge and has a lot of potential with a re-take.

I would like the crop to move up about 20%

I really like this concept. I wonder if you could have included just a little bit more of the sky? To me the color of the ocean/sky in the background really compliments the bleak grey 'winter' of the sand and fence.
