The gulls and the Fisherman

OK, not a very stimulating title but I'm lost for words. Happened to catch this shot at the beach in San Gregorio just south of Half Moon Bay. I was actually standing in what I thought was a breaker's free zone when a big wave came in and soaked me good. I was looking through my view finder when it 'attacked' and totally caught me off guard. No damage to me or equipment. The fisherman watching this unfold got a good chuckle as did the rest of my family who were with me. My folks came up from Arizona this past weekend and we spent some quality time together for Father's Day and my birthday. More images will s l o w l y trickle in.

I voted for this one not only for the life depicted in this shot, but for what you went through to capture it! Good Job.

Great, timeless composition! The pale colour scheme works very well.

excellent picture ! I would love to be there, just sitting quietly and listening to the sea.
Miss the bay area.
