 My first attempt at capturing lightening. It took a lot of trial and error and lost sleep, but it paid off.

The lightning is awesome, but the way you framed this quiet seascape is even better. Great job!

Cool lighting catch. HOpefully you weren't too close to the storm. Also the overall composition of the photo, especially the lower half. Wonderful.

Getting lighting takes a lot of luck, patience, and data space. You got more than one bolt in there, which adds a sense of activity to the shot, and you got the rest of the shot exposed well. Great job!

Cool lightening capture. That's so hard to do. I like how you can see the reflection in the water. I think if you were to crop some off the left hand side thereby putting the strike even more off center, it would have even greater impact. Just my two cents worth though.
