Today's sunset (C&C would be appreciated)

Took a ride out today just looking for some interesting shots. Found some locations to come back to, although the light wasn't ideal today. Here's a shot, comments and critique would be appreciated! Thanks in advance,

I love sunset shots like this! I'd bump up the shadows just a little, to make the rays stand out a little more, and your horizon is a little off.

Great sunset!! However, the horizon ruins the shot, imo. Either have more ground in the frame, or include nothing. Now it is in limbo, somewhere in-between. Looks like a mistake. Personally, I'd like more ground in the frame to balance and make it more "alive".

I like the composition and somewhat panoramic crop. The bit of foreground helps to define the scale of the sky. However, I think the white balance needs to be adjusted and a bit of blue added to the sky:

Thanks for the feedback guys. KmH, I hadn't even considered changing the white balance, but I really like that edit! I'll be sure to revisit it in Lightroom when I get back on my own computer.

Did YOu use an ND filter for that shot?

I personally like the original WB better. It has a more natural feel to it...

Agreed.

And while you're revisiting it in lightroom, please level the horizon? I would make it soo much better!

How would that help the shot?

I have tried straightening it multiple times, and I thought it looked okay in the one i posted with the cooler white balance. I like both edits as far as white balance goes, but I'm not sure which I prefer. Thanks for all the feedback guys, I really appreciate it!
