Love the contrasting textures between the rock and sand, sea and sky. Don't know if it was intentional or not but really like how you have nature showcased with what appears to be a ship and oil platform out of focus in the distance. It add a sense of conflict to what would normally be a rather relaxing scene.

Location
This photo was taken in the national park of the city of Ashkelon, where I live. Park out to the sea and has a beautiful rocky beach.Time
I went to the National Park in Israel's Independence Day on April 23. It was a very windy day, but in spite of that, I managed to get a sharp picture. It was about 18:00.Lighting
Cloud was not so much as usual during this time. I love to shoot the sunset on the beach when the sun goes down, and flares. The rays of the sun breaking through the clouds and it gives a stunning effect.Equipment
Today I shoot with amateur DSLR camera Canon EOS 650D that allows me to achieve good results, even in challenging conditions. I use a Canon EFS 10-18mm wide angle lens allows you to capture a lot of interesting perspectives and gain. I think you need to take pictures of the landscape with only wide angle lens. In low light, I always use a tripod is always governed by its height, because of the lower point also obtained the original pictures.Inspiration
I often watch the sunsets of famous photographers from around the world and I also wanted to ever pull off something like that, too. I have no way to travel the world, but I live near the sea, and if possible always photograph the sunset when the weather is suitable.Editing
I have an amateur camera, so I always shoot in HDR to get the highest quality results. My Canon EOS 650D allows me to do 3 pictures with different exposures. At first I combine photos in Photomatix then processes the result in the Lightroom. If necessary, I use a Photoshop that no it is not often.In my camera bag
I always take a few filters, but is mainly used only ND filters.Feedback
Remember if you want to take a picture of a beautiful sunset, go take pictures only when the sky many clouds, the best after rain. Take pictures in HDR and you always get a perfect result no matter what camera you're shooting.
