Yep, I knew the halo was there. I shot this the morning of the 28th and had very limited editing time that day. I didn't want to miss a month so went with what I had. I just don't have the time to shoot these days. I really do appreciate all the comments and offers of editing help, that's what really makes this site great!
Adding this. The final-ish version of what I probably would've entered if I had more time.

Cuttooth? I recognize this spot. Took some images there in January myself, not this good though! The black lava is really interesting to photograph. I like the time lapse on the water.
I think it's overcooked for my taste...the hills are glowing as if radioactive. The movement around the rocks is very nice though...maybe just a little less processing overall, a lighter touch so to speak, as it is a nice scene.
Watch the over-sharpening halos. Easy to fix, and they just kill this otherwise lovely shot. Turht is, the more I look the more the entire shot seems over sharpened/structured. A re-edit could yield something great.
The sea is fantastic, the sky is fantastic. The halo along the top of the land pretty much spoils it. You can eliminate bright halos by using your clone tool on a small brush setting, and in darken mode, and sampling the adjacent sky and cloning over the bright bit all the way along - resampling as you go. It wont affect the darker land area.
