There's not enough going on I don't think, nothing interesting. The satellite dishes are too dark to be interesting and just add to the indistinguishable darkness that seems to overwhelm the picture.

I think the shot would have looked better if what seems to be satellite dishes weren't there; it doesn't hold my interest.

I agree about the "satellite dishes" they really distract from the sunset. Do you have any other shots in this series that just have the sunset with the trees in the foreground?

Only a brighter version,its satellites or nothing.In the newer version I can see that the top
of the satellite needs some PP,but I have not got around to learning how to fix this yet.If
I didn't post on critique my shot,I would never have found out that this shot doesn't work
for anybody else but me,thank you all for your feedback.

Well, you're the one who really matters! I mean isn't the reason why we do this, so that we can capture the moments that inspire us?
