The sun was setting.......but why does it look almost unreal.

I'm no expert (but I know what I like) and I think your photo captures that time in the evening when everything looks surreal. Long dark shadows and warm vibrant colours where the setting sun has cast it's final glow of the day. A few minutes earlier or later and it would have been a different picture entirely. The contrast between the foilage and the shadows would be reduced and the whole tone would be subdued. If that image had come out of my camera I would be very pleased.

If you want advice on the look, please post again and check the "store original" box so that we can pixel peep and see.

The only problem I can see is I didn't take this myself! It's a beautiful shot, and the lighting is awesome!

Well....it seems like it's got some noise it in and it's soft.

What were the camera settings used?

You're not getting a lot of help, are you. The picture is totally out of focus. Would you please post the settings on your camera at the time. Did you accidentally move the AF switch on the lens to MF?
Let's start with that.

Nice image Berliner. The defused light in Early morning and evening can have a very surreal effect on a shot.

new camera and I do not recall the settings. When I looked out the back window and saw that lighting I grabbed the camera and snapped a few. The first few were too dark so I kept playing with the shutter speed and aperture. What bothers me the most is lack of focus. I was on AF. Wish I knew more details. I am still learning correlation of shutter speed and aperture. I thought I nailed it on lighting only to find it out of focus or looking like a watercolor.

The settings are in 'properties' on your image file.
