"Big Wednesday"

Once in a decade you get 50 foot monster waves pounding the north shores of the Hawaiian Islands, and it happened yesterday. This was on Kauai's NaPali coastline with some unusual but all natural lighting. I was lucky enough to catch the show on my day off.
Canon 5DM3 - one exposure.
70-200mm
8Stop Filter
B/W post in PS CS6

Very nice image Daniel with nice tones and back round light. Water looks good also. Well done.

A very powerful capture! I wish that the sun had highlighted a bit more of the middle, but that's a bit hard to control...

Tim!
