I'm liking it. The sky *is* too bright. And that smoke cloud should have 
big black parts to it. Would also be cool (haha!) if the flying boulders 
would illuminate the smoke cloud - but I have no idea how in hell you do 
that without having to wait several epocs for POV-Ray to draw it! :-/

IME, the laval should be brighter. Sometimes laval flows develop of sort 
of dark bit along the middle and the edges. The bits round the edges 
stay stationary, and the bits on top move with the flow. This is why 
they don't join; the flow rips them apart.

Of course, all of that depends on how hot the lava is, how viscous it 
is, how fast it's moving, etc etc etc, so...

I'm liking what's happening under water. Perhaps the water should be 
slightly more murky, I'm not sure. (I really like the sea floor, so it 
would be a shame to completely obscure it!) The glowing lava should 
perhaps slightly illuminate the sea floor - but that would surely demand 
radiosity... (Hope you have a nice render farm!)

Distribution of flying rock is perhaps a touch too uniform. (All the 
arcs seem to lead back to a single point. Maybe make the launch 
direction slightly random...)

No further comments, really. Looking good!
