Wave crashing against a rock sending the birds up into the air.
Crashing wave by Cathy Richardson
2025 January Competition - A Open
30 points - Voted Acc.
Judges' comments:
Good stop action; good exposure and detail; whites handled well; good depth of field; the shape of the rock helps lead up to the birds
Maker's notes:

This image was taken along the Atlantic coast of Grand Manan Island, New Brunswick, Canada.  A wave came crashing against the rock as the tide was coming in.  The wave sent many of the birds that had been on the rock up into the air.
