![King Tides at Cape Disappointment](https://images.naturephotographers.network/original/3X/8/1/8117a8e34a598d6d620c847fa12ea5d7f3cc04ac.jpeg) This location gets a lot of love when the king tides are happening during the fall and winter months on the PNW coast. It was just me and a few dozen other photographers seeking to capture the big waves that day. Usually the skies are just pure gray, but we got lucky with a bit of sunshine during the middle of the day, in between driving rain, hail, and wind. ### Specific Feedback Requested All feedback welcomed ### Technical Details Nikon D850, Nikkor 70-200mm @ 125mm, 1/1250, f/8, ISO 400.

Wonderful shot. When I saw this week’s challenge, I was hoping to see a photo from this location. I really like the action of the water with the shutter speed you chose and the blue sunny sky is a surprising additional element ---

Great shot. I like the line of foam leading in from the right and then rising to the top of the wave. ---

Beautiful and powerful, this image really showcases the power of the ocean! You caught the wave at just the right time and I love the shape of it. ---

You captured the power of the water beautifully. I like how the arcs in the water are complimented by the shapes in the cliff. ---

Love that wave Patrick! I’ve only chased big waves in Oregon; I’ll have to visit this spot. ---
