When this contest was announced I immediately thought of lava and it's extreme heat.This image shows the formation of a planet during the extreme volcanic activity at that time,the continuous carving away and rebuilding of rock formations,vents of superhot steam and gasses spewing into the air as lava fields cooled and cracked.All this against the backdrop of a night sky creating a drama we still see to this day on Earth. Scene was created in bryce 6.1,rock formations created from lattice terrains,rendered in phototexture from cgtextures.com,postwork in photoshop consists of signature and glow of lava.Good luck to all!!
