Journey
The sunset is made using multiple gradients. The sky uses Yellow, red, orange and pink. Going from bottom to top. Originally it was top to bottom but that blended too much with the Sun.
The sun and reflection uses similar colors flowing right to left in a rotated circle. With the reflection using a bit of blur.
The Ocean is made of blue gradients with white lines for wave crests.
