I hiked up there about 10 yrs ago--and this definitely gives a good sense of the barren landscape! I think i could have gone with just a bit more of the fg layer--but this is still a pretty well balanced comp

The larger version is a must see. Nice composition with the layering diagonals.

I didn't catch the cone in the thumbnail; much better as it gets bigger. Nice how the layers stacked up in this.

Very nicely done, I like how you captured the various ancient (lighter) and newer (darker) lava flows on the flank of Mauna Loa. I definitely agree with the other folks on the way the layers draw the viewer into the photo.
