I like the gold colours

I absolutely love the colours, but something seems missing. The only thing I can really focus on is the sun and I would really like to focus on the girl instead, but I just can't. You should try to crop the right of the photo, maybe that would help...

I am a big fan of the gorgeous golden colour of the sea at sunset. Here its so powerful that its a motive in its own right. The girl is just a bonus. (Check my Splash series for another variaty of the motive).

Suggestions for improvement: I would rotate it to adjust for the slight, but disturbing, tilt. Then maybe follow Hrafninn's suggestion cropping just enough of the the right to get her a in the golden cut (you may have to crop a bit from the top as well to keep the rectangular format). Then, I think, you'll have a classic!

I really like the gold sun on your picture and it's reflections. Very beautiful. Follow the suggestions of Hrafninn and Miks and it's going to be even better.
