Sunset at Beachy Head nr. Eastbourne, West SusseX, England, UK

We arrived just before sunset to photography the Milky Way which was aligning itself above the famous lighthouse there. I turned inland to photograph the sunset waiting for the darkness to fall. I didn't get a good photo of the Milky Way but at least I got this.

In ACR, I bumped up the saturation, did about 80% denoise and boosted the blacks, removed vignetting, added a little contrast and sharpening and distortion and cropped in so that the sun, which was too bright, was no longer in the top left of the frame.
