Ahhh... one of the places that I really want to visit soon. Loved the shot, Al. Very nice!
A near perfect cinder cone....nice shot.

Good to see you posting again Al! Nice shot!
If you wanted to make the Mt. Mayon less hazy, you could try increasing the contrast on just the mountain and perhaps the sky a bit.
Nice composition.
For me, the littered foreground is a bit distracting as well as uninteresting. Also, most of the sky looks blown because you have metered for the foreground. I would have taken a tighter shot with just a little bit of foregorund and correctly exposing for the mountain / sky. I am an amateur with very little knowledge on composition, so everything I have said might not be correct. Just my thoughts...........
ahhhhhhhhhh Mayon - my Philippine mistress
It is without a doubt my absolute favourite place to visit (my wife's family lives in San Rafael and Travesia)
This is my shot (panorama setting) taken from San Francisco Bridge in Guinobatan (no enhancements)
you could spend an entire lifetime photgraphing this beauty and still not get the perfect shot which capture the emotion of being in her presence
