Maine Whitecap

Hi Len, We kayakers call those "boomers". When the rock is only a foot or more below the surface, only the larger waves catch and break on them. You don't want to be paddling over the top of one when a wave breaks over it. It may only happen once every three or four minutes, depending on the depth of the rock and the size of the wave at the time. I'm always scanning far ahead for these when kayaking out on Georgian Bay or the New Brunswick coast. I like the breezy feeling this shot gives and your placement of the break. The expoure allows the sparkles to highlight just enough as well.

Greg, I'll bow to your expertise with the kayak. Thanks for validating the placement of the 'boomer' in the frame. It just 'looked' right at the time. Best, LM.

Spotted off the shore at Kennebunkport, ME. One of many frames

taken while trying to capture this feature. A bit of cropping &

other minor tweaking in PS. Comments\observations will be

gratefully received. Best, LM.
