I like the composition, and the colours.
The trees further back, just below the sun, appear very noisy though.

thank you for your reply,
those trees around was like pitch black, it wasn't too appearing to me
so i light up the shadow to make it look grayish and the noise
doesn't it look a painting with the noise? in my opinion.

do you have any advise on camera setting for bring up the light in the foreground for my next sunset shot

Looks tone-mapped or HDR'd. Not enough detail in shadows.

Composition is decent.

Horizon seems to be not level.
