Well, it looks like it. Sea instead of lava, though.

I fixed the blacks.

This is the best example against my Pet Peeve #1 - overuse of the long exposure. It is practically impossible to find a photo of these awesome falls that is not done in the said long exposure, turning them into ugly white mush. But I did find this one. Please, tell me how the white mush looks better than this wonderfull detail stopped in time, the countles exquisite dropplets suspended in the air. Because I won't listen.

I adjusted the contrast to bring out as much detail as possible. You're welcome.
