The beautiful picture was taken by Seaford photographer Phil Wiltshire, 59, and was named as a regional finalist in the Premier Inn Best of Britain photography competition.
Phil said: “Every season has something unique to offer on the Sussex coasts but Cuckmere Haven is an iconic view - how could you not be inspired to capture the moment?

The photographer has also given tips for budding photographers including picking the season carefully, getting the timing of the shot right, and adding interesting elements like buildings or animals to photographs.
Launched in partnership with Visit Britain, the competition aimed to capture some of the nation’s most beautiful landscapes.
Hundreds of entries were judged by a panel of Premier Inn and Visit Britain judges as well as travel and landscape photographer Thomas Heaton and travel blogger Chloe Gunning.

“Sussex is a spectacular visitor destination and we hope – even in a small way- our competition helps shine a light on all the amazing sights the area has to offer.”
Regional finalists, including Phil, have all won an overnight stay at a Premier Inn of their choice.
