This was one of the less challenging lava images to create as the area was beginning to solidify. The nice glow in between the braids really caught my eye.

Thanks for the comments on my previous post!

It's a great series of lava shots you've been showing us Justin. The glow from under the surface lava looks great and the cooler surface areas has a lovely metalic look to it.

Another fascinating image. The subtle hint of reflected light (which I assume is from the lava itself) is really nice.

This is equally as stunning as the first one, just not quite as nice in the form/lines!
