My name is Carl and have been off and on with photography for a number years. Recently, Iâve begun to get serious as a photographer. I look to gain a greater knowledge from other photographers on this site.

Your horizon is not level. You need about one degree counter clockwise.
This is an easy mistake, especially with shots SOOC (straight out of camera) and a very straight line such as a horizon. This is easy to check in PP (post processing, or photo editing)

Welcome Carl. I think you have made a great start by posting a picture here. A suggestion I have found very helpful is to make a commitment to post some photos here on a regular basis. The commitment will compel you to get out and shoot and to try harder to improve. I have found that hoggers recognize real effort regardless of what level you are at and will offer encouragement accordingly and advise if requested.
BTW - the reference to 'watch your horizon' above means that the horizon line in your photo should be level. Yours is pitched to the right. If you use Photoshop it is easy to level the horizon and re-crop the picture using the 'staighten' command.
