Default Sunset and Sprinklers

Hi,

I took this picture last week at the golf course. The sprinklers came on as I took the shot. Do the sprinkler ruin it? Do you think it is too dark?

I think the sprinker's a distraction. Too much things going on. I think it would be lovely if you either:
1. focus on the sunset (everything becomes silhouette or you can try HDR)
2. focus on the sprinkler (e.g maybe sprays of water which are lighted by the sunset).

Nice pic, but not suitable for a sunset scene, i can see a beautiful round orange sun. and basically that's it.
