First off, I adore the bright colors you captured in the sunset and the reflection of the sun in the water. It makes me long for walks along the beach and inner tubing and evening boat rides on a lake
Just a couple things I would suggest for this picture as far as technique. The picture could be straightened just slightly so that the horizon isn't quite so tilted to the right. Also, it bugs me a little that the bird's right wing is touching the edge of the picture. There might be a little too much negative space on the left side of the picture and not enough to the right of the bird. In the future, I would suggest that you try positioning the shot so that the sun is more to the left of the picture instead of the center.
As far as creativity goes, sunset pictures aren't super original, but I had to mark you up higher because of the bird. I'm not sure whether it was luck or opportunity that allowed you to capture it so well in this shot, but like I said earlier, it's a nice touch. The bird sets this particular shot apart from other sunset pictures.
I don't see anything that needs critiqued as far as quality goes. The picture is sharp, and the clouds, trees, and waves are clearly visible. It's not grainy or blurry.
Overall, it's a very good shot. Keep up the good work!
I really love the contrast between the sky and the water here - there's a good strong yellow around the sun that blends wonderfully into the orange, leaving a beautiful trail of gold down the centre of the blue, which has wonderful detail in the waves, it looks great XD Meanwhile the bird gives a fantastically clean and well-captured silhouette, nicely in focus and not blurred
It is a little bit of a shame that the tip of its wing is cut off at the edge of the photo though - shooting this scene as landscape instead of portrait, with the sun and the bird either in the centre, or in the left third, would have resulted in more space on the right, which I think this photo definitely needs. The horizon also isn't quite straight, which can be a very distracting element in an otherwise great photo.
Those are the only couple of points that I personally would have done a little differently though
