Hi Erwin
Beautiful sunset with nice colors. Now it would be great if you would level the horizon and apply the rule of thirds.
Have a great day
David

I visited Stewart Island when I was about 12 or 13 and, a typical teenager, I lamented the lack of cars, buildings, shops etc. I'm sure I would feel differently about it now.

Elemental to this shot is the light you've captured along the hull of that moored boat - it's excellent. The smooth tones of the water are great too.

I think composition could be stronger, either a portrait-orientation crop to narrow the image down to boat and setting sun, eliminating much of the left and right-hand sides of the photo; or placing the horizon higher in the frame to get that magic 1:2 ratio.
