The photo was taken at dawn at a Malibu, California beach. I loved the peaceful sounds of ocean waves, crashing on shore in the early morning light. I hope that the photo captures that sense of tranquility.

It was shot with a Canon 20D with an exposure of 1/15 at f/4.5 with a Sigma 18-135 mm lens at 51.0 mm on a Manfrotto 190XPROB tripod.
