Maybe it's just me, but I would have liked the shot even better without the monument in the foreground.

Never drink prune juice when you're thirsty.

The reason why the sunsets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

The positioning of the monument on the right side was a
good idea, so you can also show a lot of the beautiful landscape.
The only thing you should immediately do is to get the sea level horizontal, otherwise the ocean will flow out (LOL).
