The waves and rocks would probably kill you if you went swimming there, but you made it look like such an inviting place to jump around in!

Fantastic shot. I feel this would be even better desaturated.

This is an incredible shot. Great texture in the rocks, and the turbulent water really adds nicely. I think this will be top 10.
