The title comes from the fact that seconds after shooting this frame I got hit really hard by a wave coming in from the left :-/
So I was in a pretty place when I shot this no doubt. My idea was to walk blindly toward the water (looking like a total idiot) with the autofocus set to auto point selection and snap whenever I could here waves splashing against the rocks. I got some nice splashes and sense of peril in some frames. But in the end, this frame with that tongue of water reaching out was the most interesting to me.
I had 74 images on my card when I left this beach. I finished off the additional captures to 100 in a rain forest where I got lots of nice green. Still, this image was the most interesting to me.
The selection of advanced editing instead of minimal seemed a little odd to me for this topic (not that I'm a fan of minimal without some latitude for cropping the aspect ratio at least). But given that it was allowed I processed this image as I would any other advanced topic image.

Certainly beautiful. While this may have been taken with the eyes closed, I'm not sure this was taken in the spirit of the challenge, as it would appear you knew where you were going, and where you were pointing the image before closing your eyes and snapping. Seems very intentional. Anyhow, for this reason I'm not voting, even though I really enjoy the image.
"Looks staged", but i also had the idea of "go somewhere cool, walk around and just take random pictures, hopefully something cool comes out of it" which i think is what you did here.
Apparent that it's not a long exposure given the distinction of the water near the rocks. Definitely an interesting image :)
