Crashing wave, Lake Michigan, Cave Point County Park, Wisconsin
Canon 5D, Zeiss Distagon 21mm lens w/adapter, f/16, 1/15th sec., raw capture @ ISO 100

I wanted a shot that captured the raw power and energy of the lake. Cave Point is lined with cliffs, many of them undercut by the forces of erosion. When an incoming wave hits such a cliff at the right angle, it sends water spouting skyward as high as 30 feet.
