For someone starting out it's a good image. There are things you can do to re-take the photo differently to make it more dynamic. The traditional guidelines for composition are useful. One general guideline is the rule of thirds. Try to place the point of most visual interest about 1/3 of the way from each of two sides that meet in a corner. (There are four such points from which to pick.) When you place the sun, your point of greatest interest in the center of the image it gives the image a static feeling. Placing the horizon in the center also gives a static composition. Try placing the horizon on a line a third of the way from either the top or the bottom (covering two of the four points). Try placing the sun on one of the remaining two rule of thirds points. Witness that such a placement usually results in a more dynamic composition. The usual recommendation for beginners is once you've learned how to compose to the usual conventions, then you can learn when it works to violate the conventions.

Also, don't be impatient for replies. Much as it may seem like it, we really don't live on line. And, when we are on-line, sometimes we even like to think a while before we reply.

the only flaw in this image for me is the horizontal bar that splits it in 2.

without that it would look a lot cleaner.

Colors are beautiful.
Nice capture of the starburst effect from the sun.
I dont mind the 50/50 split of the horizon since you also have another symmetry you are working with with the dark, triangular shadows/vegetation mid-screen either side.
To me, the main problem is too many intruding blades of grass. I wish I could reach out, push them aside to make the shot.

Keep at it and let's so more.

You have a good eye. Horizon is a bit tilted.

Keep shooting!!!
