this is only one of many lava shots I took during a short but awesome trip to Big Island, Hawaii. Here are a few others, some also from a boat, some from a helicopter, and some from the land
I have quite a few more on my facebook page

Phenomenal scene! I've never seen anything like it. I could study the shapes in the cooled lava for hours, I think. And just those few bits of molten lava in an otherwise black landscape ... stunning.
The color and clarity of this lava flow is amazing. Just how physically close you were to it makes me wonder because I know from past experience the heat can be incredible. The detail in the cooled and blackened lava and the churning seas is fabulous. Nice capture of of the power of nature.
Took me a few seconds to figure out what it was! Very nice capture! Could use a little more contrast to boost the blacks and whites as it seems very uniformly "grey". A little more tonal range and wowza, this would've been lovely!
