The first of a few projects for me this year was a quick trip to Iceland to see the new volcano that was erupting there. A spectacular way to "re-enter" the world after 14 months of relatively limited travel. I'm normally a fan of tack sharp. But this was hot, and as a result much of this image is wavy and soft and distorted. The intense heat from the molten lava field creates a significant amount of distortion in the air.

Get ready to RUN! It looks like it’s creeping up to you. I don’t mind the wavy focus at all since it helps tell the story. Great job on this extremely dramatic shot!!

the heat distortion is natural, and supports the sense of drama and intensity here....your images of this event are all outstanding..

Awesome action shot where the sharpness of the picture is really not the main element in its capture.

That is an impressive fiery furnace. It is certainly a turbulent part of the world. "VVV"

A very nice eruption capture with the lava up front on it way to another destination.
With the heat generated from this eruption you probably were in a T shirt and as you said effected your photography hope you equipment came home safe and sound.
