Creation & Destruction

The forces of fire and water collide as this molten lava stream pours into a tumultuous sea. The waves are receding here, and you can see some of the glowing lava being pulled out to sea near the contact point.

I chose to let the lava stream clip completely to white here. While I wouldn't normally do that, I feel that it can work in instance where the lava doesn't take up much of the frame as is the case here. I was going for a moody and ominous feel.
