Great sky in the first, in particular.

Well done!

Well the lava fields are a little post-apocalyptic, spreading over many square miles and obliterating everything in their path.

I've tried a few times to capture them but this is my best attempt yet, thanks to the sky.

Thanks to all for the comments.

I'll check it out, it would probably work well.

But for me a main feature of the landscape is the unearthly green of the mosses, and I wanted to show that. In fact, this version seems a little dark and they could be brighter. More accurate, less believable on the accurate--believable--artistic triangle of processing trade-offs.
