A beautiful shot, Helen- with or without the girl.
I often prefer people in such images- when they are appropriate to the subject. And the girl is perfect for this one. More than the picture alone, I get a sense that someone else is finding this sunset worthy.

Love this one Helen!
The lighting and exposure are perfect but what I think makes this image strong is the inclusion of the child silhouette.
It tells a story.

Nice job with using the little girl, and with the way the beach and water is angled, she is in the perfect place to have her centered like that. Nice work!
