 I got completely soaked as an unexpected large wave crashed over me. I was just keeping my camera in the air so that it wouldn't get wet, but my jeans weren't so lucky :)

This is shot at 13mm using a 3 stop graduated ND filter.

Processing:
- Crop
- Cloned out a little bit of flare caused by water drops on the lens
- Selective levels, curves and contrast
- Resize and sharpen (variation on Adamus routine)
- Save for web
