I have been photographing Death Valley National Park for the past 4 days, and today was the only day that clouds were present for a sunset shot.

I like the comp with the leading element in the foreground, but the brightness and contrast could maybe be better optimized.

The comp is quite good, but I agree with Tony. This could really shine with some contrast work.

I like the color of this sunset, there's a peacefulness to the image. I think it could use some more sharpening in this web version, and a bump in brightness, but other than that it feels quite balanced and I really like the way the FG points leads the eye towards the horizon. The image is pretty subtle and I'm not sure I would increase the contrast too much, since that might change the mood. I'm surprised you have gotten more comments on this, based on the composition alone.

Thanks for the comments guys! I did a little brightening, contrast work and noise reduction
