Greetings from the Critique Club!
What a stunning shot when I first look at it. The colors, the tiny bit of lightening you caught, the light to dark, nice constrast. I feel this overall composition is pretty good for the newspaper shot. But something just niggles at me about this shot and I can't quite put my finger on it, let me look a bit longer here.......Okay, I think I see what it is, it's the balance between the sky and the ground. It's very top heavy. I took my magic envelopes and put them on the screen and when I crop out the ground completely it makes a completely different, more balanced picture to me. Even is you crop about half the ground, leaving more a dark line across the bottom rather than the lines leading in, which usually would work very well but in this case, to me they are competing with the top of the shot and the lightening. Also the colors seem just a tad pale, maybe a slight curves or hue/saturation adjustment to really make them pop out might make some difference.
But otherwise this is a great shot, nice capture! Hope my comments help and good luck in future challenges!

The lightning was so frequent that it was a lot easier than you might think. But luck also had something to do with it. It's probably the first time I've ever caught lighting with a 1/30 s shutter.

I love it...
I can't be that lucky catching a bolt of lightning like that...
How'd you catch that with only a 1/30 shutter?
I want to start capturing storms like this!

| Very dramatic ... the lightning is perfect with the sun on the other side making a nice balance of extremes. |

| This shot would make front page of a paper if the weather is severe, so it works. |
