I like the idea behind this picture. If only that one stalk in front was gone, it would be a near perfect picture. Keep them coming!

I aggree with youngatheart anout yhe one stalk but thisis still a good shot

The one plant stalk is obstructing that beautiful sunset view. I like the green & peach colors & the distant sea. I hope you have more scenic views Tom : )

I have to agree. When the foreground object goes from top to bottom and side to side, and it's all out of focus, it's rare that there's any saving factor.
You really lucked out, as the intricate detail/formation of the plants make a nice frame for the soft pastels of the sunset.
It's probably a once in a lifetime, so don't do it again :-).

One thing more. If you reduce the brightness in your editor it will be even better, as it will bring out the yellows in the burnt out sun area and produce a more dramatic silhouette.
This will also reduce the effect of the out-of-focus areas.
