Hey Guys I took thisphoto at a place called Amanzimtoti, it is at the South coast of South Africa.It wasquite a bit hazy that’s why the photo seems a bit soft, but it added to the colors
in the sky...

What areyour thoughts on the photo and composition?

This sky was not your friend.  Check back on different nights, some nice clouds may show up.

For me, I like the soft sky and water, was this out of camera?

Thank you, yes the soft sky is out of the camera ...I only added a touched to rightness and color, and cropped slightly...

I'm digging the composition. That brush (kelp?) in the foreground is a nice bit of foreground interest, although it's a tad dark so you lose some of the detail there. I do like the juxtoposition of the dark skies and sea on the left with the bright lights and skyline on the right. I think that gives the photo a greater degree of balance.

For me, that plant in the foreground is a distraction.  I would have moved the camera ahead enough to shoot over the plant.  That, plus using a little longer focal length, would get the plant out of the frame entirely.
