Thanks for the comment, Jesse. Here's the techs:
f/20.0
1/6th sec
iso 100
focul length: 62mm (before 1.6 crop factor)
90 percent of original (cropped some of the ugly foam out of the bottom and a bit of the right side.)

Outstanding, Rick. One of the best waves-crashing-on-rocks photos I've ever seen. Beautiful light and the shutter speed was just right for the action.

What a great shot....that's some serious wave action, especially for the summer! Was this during a storm, or just "regular" waves?

I can feel the power.

Great timing of the water Rick. I really like the details in the rocks with how the light is falling. I'm starting to figure out the best ways to capture movement and detail in water, and seeing this is another reassurance that I am on the right path with the tech notes about the shot. :D Thanks!
