To me the sun just stands out as cartoonish? Not sure how to describe it, but look at a lot of sunsets and usually the sun itself is a white with the glow around it being that beautiful orange, yellow, red, pink, etc. Now don't get me wrong there are great painters that used an orange sun (Monet comes to mind in "Impression Sunrise"), but most of those are seen as foggy skies that all that comes through is the color. In this case it looks like the sun isn't being blocked by anything so it just stands out.
I do love the composition, other colors, and overall painting. I just wanted to give my feedback on sunsets. I've done a lot of them and made a lot of mistakes with them (and I'm sure I'll make more LOL)
