Congratulations to rsk7 for winning Feature Thread of the Week with 12 votes - View Previous Winners

An amazing display of nature's power at Cape Disappointment this weekend. Combination of King tide plus a large swell system down from Alaska and some sun breaks in the clouds and rain just made for some spectacular images. It was really hard to narrow it down to just these 7.

The 150+ photographers were lined up elbow to elbow so I won't be too surprised if more of this event show up here.

Awesome set. Talk about power that can make you feel insignificant.

Wow!!! So powerful. Great captures. I've never been there but do get to the PNW once in a while. Is this Cape Disappointment lighthouse in some of those shots? Or North Head Lighthouse?

Color was quite dull and lifeless. A hint of greens and browns in the cliff face, a hint of greens in the face under the lighthouse and a bit of dirty green to some of the base of the water fan.

The sky was mostly overcast with some cloud breaks but even then the color just didn't add to the images. I've seen some shots of the day that IMHO are over-saturated in order to create more color than there was.

I just find the B&W do the images an order of magnitude more justice than any natural color version could.

I'm surprised others haven't posted more yet. I have seen a color shot of the 3rd image's wave above that is cropped differently on facebook that must have been shot within milliseconds of my shot.

I expect more will start to get posted throughout the week. There were a lot of photographers out.

...Check out Thomas Heaton and Nick Page about 5-6 people into the image? I recognize Thomas' pig tail beanie and Nick's head profile.

Awesome pics here. Love the B&W element. Usually not a fan of it, however this photo exemplifies doing it right!!

Nice set, black and white is perfect for these! I love how the birds provide scale in the last one.

Awesome is a greatly overused word - these really qualify. Great set. Someone could have made a fortune selling coffee and donuts

These stand out quite a bit from the many I've seen. Well done.
