Ridgelines in the Churn

Macro details inside a breaking wave. Captured using an 85mm manual focus Zeiss Milvus f/1.4 lens at dawn to isolate and magnify the delicate texture of a breaking wave overhead. This image is not rotated, but rather, is fraction of the surface of a larger wave curling overhead at the critical moment is begins to barrel. The moment exists just once in time and a camera is the only possible way to currently record it before it mutates and is reborn as the wave passes by.
