Leon,

You are definitely shooting at the right time of day for these shots. Evening and early morning are like magic with that reddish golden lights, so, kudos to you there!

The shot could have been better if it was composed appropriately.

Cutting off part of the dish is akin cutting people's hands and feet off in a portrait; if the situation calls for it, such as extenuating composition, it might work, but, for the most part, it's a no-no.

A few steps back, and then, pointing the camera to the left to account for the extra space that would have been created to frame right would have seen it through.

Don't worry about HDR. The whole point about shooting landscapes in the golden hour, is to avoid hacks like HDR.

Keep it up!
