13th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
A perfect wave breaks on a day I will never forget.

This wave was hard to shoot and I was scared of getting nailed on the reef. As you can see the wave is perfect and it allowed me to get the mountain as the backdrop. Adventures to foreign countries are a must if you are a photographer.
