This sunflower by the river was catching those evening rays just right.

Location
This was the only sunflower growing by the side of the local river where I walk daily.Time
It was late in the evening, with the sun starting to set.Lighting
The setting suns rays were hitting the back of this just right to light up the petals beautifully.Equipment
I've been using my Samsung Galaxy S21. I have an old Canon DSLR from around 2005 which I will use for long shots, but this cellphone is better for short till I can upgrade my camera.Inspiration
I am always on the hunt for interesting or standout shots, and I was able to follow ths sunflower's growth from no bloom to full bloom, and this shot jumped out at me.Editing
Just a bit of cropping.In my camera bag
I normally take shots while hiking. So only my cell camera. If I go out specifically to shoot, I'll take my old DSLR also.Feedback
Take lots of shots at different angles. Sometimes a strange angle is the top shot.
