Wowwww! I have travelled to Hawai'i a few years ago but I was not lucky enough to see incandescent lava. It's a great capture. I envy you :-)))) Thank you so much for sharing your work!!!

Comment from Highfive


Wow, fascinating colors, God really creates some beautiful things to view. The Reds are powerful and illuminates awesomely throughout the entire sky and blends nicely with the rich blues to create excellent harmony with the immediate very dark foreground in silhouetted form. The clarity is out standing. Very nice skills as a photographer. Thanks for sharing.

What a fortunate opportunity to capture so well such a unique setting at the right time. The oranges in the sky are remarkable as are the other colors in the middle ground. The capture of- and the burning-like scene from the volcano, both are stunning.

Wow that is a hot red glow from an active volcano and you have captured it so well. The silhouette against the red glow is fantastic. Great clouds against the blue and red. All the best in the contest!

What a fantastic, albeit scary capture of this volcano. You don't say but I wonder how close you were to it and if you could feel the heat. A great contender for the contest, well done.

    Thank you very much for your review and comments. I was pretty far away from the lava and could not feel any heat that night.

Comment from Shadow catcher


Quite an impressive capture, Steve, it looks like the fires of Hell escaping to scorch the peaceful Heaven above. A great entry for this contest showing Mother Earth in the process of Creation. I Like the silhouetted tree standing defiantly on the edge of the crater as the fiery lava within colors the escaping steam red. Must be really something to see first hand,best wishes to you in the contest!
