Hi Deanster, So sorry I missed this one when you first posted it! I think the shot is awesome and was a wonderful entry for the outside photo contest! Love the bursts of lightening! The focus and lighting and top notch! Very deserving of winning the contest! Congratulations! :o) Nancy

Thanks so very much. Funny thing though, I had forgotten about even entering the contest until I saw the notice for the win.

A good looking image posted here into the competition, together with interesting notes too! Your dramatic composition leaves me in no doubt that there was a dangerous storm out there. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!

Much appreciated. Ironically, once this storm passed directly overhead, there was very little rain and the lightning almost stopped completely. It was another one of my being in the right place at the right time by sheer luck.

Comment from Maureen Woychyshyn
A very interesting and unique visual presented here of this thunderstorm. You've caught the lightning just at the right time. I love that you use black-and-white to highlight that moment. Well done.

Thanks so much. I debated on converting to B&W but once I compared it to the original, I liked the monotone version much better.
