Volcanic Sunrise

Sunrise at Arenal Volcano. This photograph always gets a great reaction from "non-photographers" so I wanted to get opinions and critique here as well. In the compressed jpegs posted here you can see some rings around the sun that are not present in the psd file.

This has a prehistoric feel.

The comp and colors are fantastic and this is enough for most non photographers.
I would like to see a bit more detail in the foreground.

Yep, looks like the dawning of time. Excellent storytelling image and mood. I like the comp and color as well.

A striking image, I also detect a prehistoric feel to this.

More foreground detail might work well too. I'm not sure it fits the mood and look of the scene as presented though. I think you have a heck of a shot here!

I can see why 'non-photographers' like this. The light is really spectacular, and the volcanic peak catches my interest immediately. I also like the foreground plant. I feel as thought the foreground / bottom of the frame is cut off a bit - I see some beautiful red flowers peeking their way in and would love to see more them!
