Breaking Waves

When it comes to photographing water, my definite tendency is to slap a polarizer and a neutral density filter onto the lens, stop the lens down, and go for the smooth water effect using a long shutter speed. But on this morning, when I saw huge waves breaking over sea stacks, even I thought that it was time to freeze the motion and stop time instead of averaging it out.
