One of my favorites. Would've liked it more with the ground cropped out. 7.

I actually think this picture looks better withought the ground at the top. Having that up there almost gives the illusion that there is a completely different image.

If u scroll this image to simulate the horzion being "cropped" out you'll see it makes a great difference and presents a WOW effect. A pity u did'nt crop it. But on the other hand some DNMC'ers may have come along and suggested otherwise. "Shrug shoulders"
This is an incredible image and i hope it does well. 9

stunning capture - love the multiple strikes - it really works well

pretty sweet shot. I think I would rotate it to level off the clouds and crop the city off. Amazing bolt of lightening and great clouds.

08/10/2007 12:07:36 PM
thats pretty intense man, but I would have cropped out the ground and given it a better title
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Awesome capture had it been cropped along the horizon line would be a 10
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/09/2007 11:40:13 PM
Sweet shot, but why didn't you just eliminate the ground completely??? With the clouds on the bottom the
'Upside Down' is obvious & you would have removed the distracting junk across the top! Beyond that quibble, I really like this one... << 8 >>

Wow...that's sweet! 10

Wow, I really love this one. Not only is is a great lightning shot, but I feel like I'm sitting on those dark puffy clouds. Definite 9.

Outstanding. Top five.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/08/2007 08:34:39 PM
wow nice lightning, I think I think I would of cropped the top land off though
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/08/2007 08:24:09 PM
Very cool! I love the strip of land at the top, it's almost like a film strip
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/08/2007 07:25:23 PM

Awesome lightning shot, not sure if the upside down thing works for it, but still very cool!

NEATO!

Very cool - looks like a bush. The "ground" at the top looks odd, though - would this look better if you cropped it out?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/08/2007 09:28:37 AM
Wild shot

Wow, thats a cool pic! Love the thunder!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I think the image would benefit if the earth was totally cropped out.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/08/2007 01:19:30 AM
WOW - That's one of the most intense lightning photos I've seen!

Talk about freaking me out. Well done. psart
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/08/2007 12:17:22 AM
I'm trying to figure out the city and the line across. Hmmmmm. I think I'd crop it so that all we are seeing is the lightning. Great shot of it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/08/2007 12:09:11 AM
WOW!!!!! what is with all the lightning shots recently? i don't know how yall do it! this is spectacular....although i am getting really tired of all the random pictures that were simply turned upside down, this REALLY works! great shot
