The image is too busy.  It needs a focal point that grabs 
the viewer's attention. The exploding lava in the center 
is pretty good.

From Stickgod01@aol.com:
I really like the selection and use of colors in this one. It gives it the right
feel. The sun looks a little odd, but I really like the rest.

From tony@j4tb.com:
Cool fog and haze adds a nice element of realism.

Great image - one of the most interesting thing when the picture was loading on
my screen was: before the (c) appeared I new by whom it was made. Very typical.

From javaearl@hotmail.com:
Very original concept coupled with one mean volcano create a great scene.
However, in some places, the atmospheric effects take away from the scene
slightly more than they add. Still great, in spite of.

The image looks a bit messy.

From whitey@telefragged.com:
i'm pretty sure this has been post-render photoshopped

From dmacisaacj@hotmail.com:
pretty cool except the sky / atmosphere seems almost too busy, and there's no
atmosphere to the actual con almost too sharp, maybe heat traces would help.
The lighting of the stones and lava pool are good

From dearmad@sapere.com:

Almost too much light but very well done- I think a darker overall effect with
higher points of light would have been better, but I respect your choices.

In this image are just some witches missing, that meet like in the
"Walpurgisnacht"-scene in "Faust I" by the german poet J. W. Goethe. But is it
real wilderness?

From chris_hormann@gmx.de:
Quite chaotic, but I like it, nice textures

=====
From StephenF@whoever.com:
The lava and the lighting look good.  The blotches of 
white could use some work... they're pretty distracting, I 
think.

From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
Has all the elements of  your trademark style: a distant viewpoint, a 
complex scene, and a vivid color palette.
I would not have made the lava translucent -- I think it should be opaque.

Artistic - Very nice looking volcano
Technical - you invested a lot of time in your lighting and texture work, which
is
       excellent, but more details of how you constructed your landscape, rocks,
sky
       and clouds would help with technical difficulty judging
Concept - a wilderness of sorts
