Ok, I can finally comment on them "did not follow the rules" posts.

As the title says, the clouds were meant to be the main aspect to this shot. They were illuminated from behind by the lightning, and were not cast into sillhouette. Yes, the house was, but that was there for framing, not for subject.

I agree with those who said I should have cropped in closer. I'll keep that in mind for next time :)

Thanks for the comments.

Pete

Cool Photo... How did you manage to snap a picture at that exact moment when the lightning struck....

Some tighter cropping would have enhanced this feature

It's always nice to catch a lightning. Maybe more composition.

The only thing that is lit is the lightning. It's not really lighting anything from the back. Nice capture of lightning, but not a good fit for the challenge.

I'm impressed with the lightening photo! Hope you weren't in danger. I would have cropped the city lights off the left side, but that's just a personal preference.

Great timing, and like the way the lightning is not centered.

did not follow rules, object can not be a silhouette.
