Don't think I have seen an aerial view of this lava flow. Love the motion and comp Ronald.

Eva- Actually it's not "aerial", it's taken from the cliff overlooking the ocean. It was impressive to watch the waves cover and reveal the flow.

This is nice. I like the contrast of the dark rock and churning sea split by the flow. Cropping some off the bottom and left would focus more on the best areas.

You caught some fine drama both in the lava flow and in the wave action. I like where you've positioned the lava.
