Wave Vortex

I spent the morning shooting waves at sunrise in Laguna Beach, California. I love capturing the intensity of waves by slowing their motion. I had gotten knocked down multiple times before I took this final shot and got the exact image I was looking for. The wave could be seen crashing and breaking straight down the line with the vortex of the wave crashing right in front of me... right before the wave crashed on me and drenched my camera.
