At first I thought, painted with light from below during a long deep twilight backlighted single exposure. But the somewhat well-defined little incoming wave at the bottom says no. So right now I'm stumped. Maybe a backlighted dual exposure with painted light after dark?

I find the lighting, or more probably the printing rather strange. There's some big issues here that others overlook. It's back lit (the rock stack) so why is the top so dark and the middle lighter matching the light behind. With some work it could be a superb image but it's the opposite at the moment. Ian

Well, I think the vignetting combined with the type of rock, if you notice the rock at the top is an entirely different kind of rock than the layer at the bottom, I just think it's the different layering and the color tone of the rock that changed (different magma flow) that causes the strange exposure, but I didn't see the image as a composite as much as the rock being a composite of different types of rock layers.

stunning. everything came together beautifully. I will say the island on the left pulls my eyes off the image.
