Here is picture I took yesterday evening. I'm pretty happy with it, but as a beginner any advice is most welcome.

Nice shot,but I do recommend that the horizon MUST be straight, i.e perfectly parallel with top and bottom frame.
Keep an eye on this.
It can be corrected in most editing sites (photoshop/flickr/ etc etc.)

Its i nice shot and i 'd like to make 2 recomendations if i may...
1st it's too blue to my taste..I think Daylight WB or CTE if you have available would give you warmer tones..
2nd i think when you shoot sunsets etc you should use the 1/3-2/3 rule(the golden ratio or φ..I'm Greek afterall :P)..I mean 1/3 sea and 2/3 sky or vice versa..It would be much more attractive..

Thanks for the advice, I've straightened the image up. I'm terrible with taking photos on an angle, some of the pictures I took are view much on an angle. Something I need to work on.

I'll have a look at changing the WB to see how that turns out. I've heard of the rule of 3rds, but didn't ever really think about it in those terms. I've cropped the original image as there is some unattractive stuff in the fore ground, but I think the original fitted the rule better (fluke rather than intention).

Edit: Here's a less blue picture.
