Cornwall boasts some amazing displays of thrift flowers in the spring, with the clifftops near Trevone being one of the best places to see them. When I set up for this shot, warm evening light was creating relief in the foreground and revealing texture in the background cliffs. As the evening progressed and the sun dipped to the horizon, pink tones spread across the clouds, mirroring the colours of the thrift. I decided to use a neutral density filter to lengthen the exposure time, thus smoothing the surface of the water and simplifying the scene.
