Seascape nominee

This rock arch can be found on the remote coast of Southern Victoria, Australia. It took a lot of planning and multiple attempts to get the pre-dawn conditions with a setting full moon and a tide at just the right level to expose these rock shelves, but still allow water to cascade over the edges. This is a truly perilous location requiring you to be standing waist high in the water on very slippery rock ledges. Technical data: Nikon D800, Nikkor 16-35mm @ 31mm. 0.8 sec at F/16. ISO 100.
