Taken at Volcanoes National Park in Hawaii. The lava was actually more reddish than this, except for the area right where it was emerging from under the rock, so I fiddled with the color and saturation to bring out the yellow for the challenge. Still, I expect many will say this isn't really yellow. I kind of agree, but I don't care- I got to see lava up close!!!

this looks like it may be a lava flow but there isn't enough context to tell for sure if you haven't seen one, most of us live some place that doesn't have volcanos
This is a pretty difficult subject. The hottest lava has about exhausted the variation in yellow, and the crevices don't allow light.. There are some interesting variations in texture and the composition is good. A 6.
