Composition and fringing.
Also how about a crop of the horizon.

Your crop of the horizon shows it is OOF with red fringing.

Red fringing can be fixed so as blue one. I guess its my lens which is causing it. I will work on Focus. Is it close enough or its far away from acceptable level?

Aside from the focus, you're going to get a lighting rejection. Yes, I know it's meant to be dark, but the right side falls off into loss of detail. If you don't want to lighten it, you could crop off the right and go with a squarish format, like below (I upped the exposure a bit anyway, and it might still be too dark for SS's likings).

Why the silhouette at all? walk 50 yards to your left and there is a shot there with the groynes leading the eye to the clouds in the distance. More interesting side lighting and more even exposure. You won't have the black to worry about, you have more interesting shot and one more likely to get accepted. Whehter it sells or not is as much you guess as mine but it has to be accepted to be able to sell.

The dead tree doesn't add much to the image. However, you have the potential of some elements with which you can create some great linear features in the image that would provide much more interest.
Hope you can go back to the spot and reshoot it.

Everybody, including me, preach about the virtues of the foreground object. It's a rule and rules are meant to be bent and broken. This is one where you would have a better image if you would have broken the rule. The subject of this picture is not the water, poles or clouds. It's the colors in the sky and the colors reflecting on the water. The foreground tree distracts from the color in the reflections. The rocks on the lower left provide enough foreground. Remember sometimes less is more. I like the fact that you shot when everyone one else was eating and that your picture has clouds, just lookout for that 1 too many tree next time.

Let me know if you like this. This one was shot without the tree in it. I did take few shots at different location so that I learn more.

Also I wanted to know where would you focus in this type of shots? should I use infinity focus or should I use focus at lower third of picture? I have tried to research about this topic but everyone is having different opinions

It depends on the shot you want to achieve and how far away certain elements are in the image.
The focusing 1/3 in sounds like you are talking about hyperfocal distance focusing. This is where you use an aperture small enough to get everything in the image in focus.
Using infinity focus is when all items in the shot are more than 40 feet away from the camera and DOF does not come into play and infinity focus takes over.
