Crashing Wave

Crashing Wave
I have a hard time taking photos of waves. Actually, based on the many shots I have I don't have a problem taking the photo, I have a problem with liking them. I almost like this shot. You get a sense of its size and power with part of it crashing against that fairly large sized rock, but still see the rest of the wave. It's like a before and after sequence in one shot.

The northern California coastline was treated to a some bigger than normal waves in January. The waves are so big that there's a well known surf competition held every year because of the waves. This spot was a little too rocky for the surfers, but just a little south of this surfers were taking full advantage of the waves. Between the very cold Pacific Ocean and the large waves I can't decide which is crazier!

It's $30, and I don't have to run down to a store to get it. Actually, I couldn't if I wanted to, but that's another story. But it's the second half of the presentation that was more, interesting, if you're an iOS person.
