That doesn’t really count since the wave only went 600 feet to the other side of a bay. The wave wasn’t 1720 feet tall, just that’s how far water splashed up the mountain on the other side.

In your link they even say a small boat survived by letting out enough anchor line and being able to ride the wave. No chance they did anything over a 150 foot wave like that.

Since star trails are a really expensive problem to solve (and stopping the Earth's rotation is too rich even for Jeff Bezos), you could easily tackle this without resorting to cloning by taking a 2nd shot - a longer exposure with much lower ISO for that tasty water reflection, and then combine the images :)

Oh and Topaz Denoise sends its regards.

Any shot that doesn't include humans, human-made objects or animals (but..but why?) is okay, so the way of water is okay too unless you're James bloody Cameron trying to make real water bubbles and CGI. If you are, shame on you!

Every so often, dive boats from Oahu will make an overnight run from Hawaii Kai to most of the way down the backside of Molokai. You squeeze in as many dives as you can, three tanks at least, but there's also some truly breathtaking beaches and arches you can swim to. I've never seen as many lobsters, octopus, and monk seals as I did on that trip. It's very much worth it if you ever get the chance.
