[Mark Fuge]

This image was taken in Hawaii, on the Island of Maui, of the inside of the crater of Haleakala Volcano.

Modifications were done in CS4 and included; Radial Zoom, Shadow & Highlight adjustment and other normal PS adjustments.

Enjoy!

Hey, Mark, I really like this - it's a great abstract, I love the colors and the framing is perfect.:)

Very nice composition, Mark. I like the color and the effect... feel Martian! The crater seems to be exploding.

I'm not usually a big fan of total abstracts, but I have to say this one wins me over. Love the colors. Very dramatic feel!

[Judy Howle]

The colors, composition and framing are all spot on!

A unique look for sure Mark. Colors are rich and appealing.

Hi Mark, you really got the sense of motion back into these volcanic cones! Seems like they are erupting again... Good job on the blur, just right to me. I would go for a smaller mat given the size of the frame itself.

Thanks Denise and Kerry for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.

The shadows, light, and colour make this image for me.
