Tropical Cauldron

A large formation of Lava rock off the coast of Kihei on Maui, Hawaii turned into a boiling sinking cauldron by the rising tides flowing in from above and below. The water level on this cauldron would rise and fall as much as 6 feet with the ebb and flow of the waves. I was fascinated by this marvel of nature and creation.

    i think whats so amazing in this (for me) is that the waterfalls look ginormous! when I saw the thumbnail I thought it was a little splicing of heaven. I cant pinpoint it, but the POV is immaculate. it feels like it could be slightly looking upwards, but then also wide angle to give the entire scene. brilliant work
