This is my third entry from my evening at Crystal Cove last October. I don't expect this to compete with the dozens of beautiful land and seascapes that will grace this challenge. I find this scene dramatic and full of energy, expressing the inherent rugged nature of the ocean.

Thanks for all the comments, and thanks Venom for the confusion! Clearly you were drunk! ;)

Dammit, I drove right past this place and wanted to go there really bad but it didn't look very promising from the roadway... so the girlfriend made us go to Laguna for dinner which was cool... man i want to get back to the West Coast. Very cool shot, congrats on the awesome placement.
Ben, I don't think there is a better BW seascape on the site--and this competes with the best color ones. Awesome movement, clouds; it feels like I am being sucked into the tide. You had better print this one!
And, there is a good chance venom was drunk! It's just who he is. ;)
too soft...and is esencially serenity but just black and white in this challenge....someone is copying someone else.not quite a violation, but maybe you should just get half a vote
dynamic high contrast image - the sky is dramatic, the water rushing around the dark rocks, the crispness of the details - it all makes for a classic seascape
I love the use of monochrome in this shot. The long exposure works really well to convey motion in the water. The rocks have good detail and are nicely sharpened. I'd like to see a bit more detail in the center rock but that might be nitpicky.
