Hi Manvir,
Being that the brightest area is in the center, my eye is having a difficult time exploring the rest of the scene. When composing images including the sun it is often best to offset it a bit. It may have also been more effective to isolate one of the palm fronds with the sun as the LH side of the frame is a bit disconnected. I also want to mention that when you are composing......pay special attention to the frame edges for objects protruding into the frame.....if they aren't adding to the scenee, try moving around a bit or even getting a touch lower to eliminate them. Sometimes moving just a foot or two makes a big difference. Looking forward to seeing more of your images.

Hi Manvir, Great advice by Roman and all I would add that I would crop out the small tree on the very left. Very often there are more ways than one to shoot a subject. This was an interesting enough scene to play with.
