 Since we moved to Oklahoma we start to be familiar with storms, tornadoes,and sirens. But last day we got this really big storm, flowed by lightning and thunders for about two hours.

I have yet to be in the area to view a great lighting storm. This is a really cool photograph to see the lightning striking in a neighborhood.

This is a nice capture, but it's plagued by things like the way-too-open crop and the fact that it's crooked. The toning in the sky looks good, the colors really worked.

More crisp. Also, is the house exploding because of the lightning? That flash of light almost overpowers the ligtening.

great lightning, but "Use the moon, stars or planets" DNMC

Perhaps a more natural hue would have been better?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 06/04/2008 06:55:32 AM
I like the blot of lighting and the colors around it
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 06/04/2008 06:19:00 AM
Very dramatic, just a pity the house to the right had so many lights on!
