Location

This was taken on Christmas Eve, during sunset.Lighting
No post processing - the lighting and colors are as they actually appeared!Equipment
A simple iPhone, no tripod, no flash.Inspiration
Cannon Beach, OR is a favorite destination, any time of year. After a very difficult year, losing family members due to illness and divorce and all of the bad feelings created by this, I went to this place with many fond memories of the loved ones lost, just to simply feel better again. Also, Cannon Beach artist and painter Jeffrey Hull is an inspiration!Editing
No post processingIn my camera bag
In addition to the iPhone, I have a Canon EOS Rebel T7, 70-200mm zoom, 14-24mm wide angle and 50mm lenses.Feedback
There are 4 possible subjects in this photo - the sunset, the rocks, the waves and the beach. Aside from focus, I find this the most important part of my photography, and that is to clearly identify the subject. What do you think?
