I took this shot off Campus Point near UCSB during a huge swell that rolled in last wednesday. I was out there pretty much all day and took close to 300 shots, this being one of the best. I tweaked the contrast and lightness a bit and then went on to give it a sepia hue in Photoshop CS.

So nature's old and men are new. Yes, I like that interpretation. I don't know how to link the birds to it, but for the rest, your picture is very interesting. The boat in the background is a nice detail. I don't like the centered horizon though. Cropping off some of the bottom and off the top would have given you a perfect rule of thirds. 9.
Wow, great light, great shot, although I find the rock in the foreground a bit distracting
What's missing is a link to the theme which is a shame as I think this would have done really in another challenge. I can see it scoring low because of this.
