Hi Barry, not being one for landscapes I'm probably not the best person to comment on this but i'll have a go anyway the colours made by the setting sun are very nice, but the dark foreground is very overpowering IMHO, not sure if this helps
By cropping this you could improve the composition considerably - the long cloud works well to frame the sun along with the bushes. Perhaps something like this? From here you could also crop a bit more off the sky and add the same amount as pure black to the bottom. Tristan
I'm no landscape person either but much prefer Tristan's crop and the slightly toned down colours.

Thanks for the imput its so difficult knowing where to start with so many preferences at the end of the day its down to individual style. Developing that knowledgeable eye that is appreciated by others is the major target.

What a difference a strategic crop can make.
