Great color and impactful sunset.

Do you have this in RAW? If so try the dehaze filter in Adobe Camera RAW or Lightroom. Also a tad of “clarity”. This will remove what I think might be a ceiling haze.

Also a gentle S curve to increase the dimensionality.

This is enjoyable in startling color as most sunsets,......... but also unique in that is a particularly strong geometric design with stacked clean horizontal sections of texture and color and then an asymmetrically placed large circle to one side. Apart from a tiny white dot of perhaps a distant sail boat near the horizon on the left, there is no sign of humanity. But that dot, perhaps, makes the picture significant. Others might or might not have the same evoked feelings.

This simplicity is almost “architectural”. The thousands of beautiful and sentimental sunsets, we normally see, are far less precisely cut into chunks of design like this.

More than a few artists in the past 20 years have adored a style like this in very wide panoramas of beach and other scenes to show a “God View” of horizontal stripes, that become an abstraction. Here the vertical arrangement is like a small serving of a panoramic layers, including the sun, so we get a strong close up view!
