Please comment and rate. What can I fix with this? What do you like,

or not like? Thanks.

Nothing is perfect, but to me this photograph is as close as you can get. You can see just enough detail, which creates mood. The composition is perfect for this shot, and you got all of the reflection. That is a job in itself for these types of shots. The tones are captivating. Love it!

You lucky bugger! Very nice shot...

Kelly, you have really come a loooooong way. This is no ordinary lightning shot. You've framed this with the branches and the reflection is just an added bonus. The tones are great. I wouldn't change a thing. Congrats on really improving your photography.

Beautiful Shot! Congratulations.

woah!! talk about being in the right place at the right time. good job

I wouldnt change anything. This is not a common lightning shot, as already stated. The branches are perfect framing and their patterns echo the lightning - this makes the shot stand out of the crowd IMO

Excellent shot, just seems a little tilted which is a little distracting from an otherwise perfect lightning shot.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback. It really means alot to me. Will King, I give alot of the credit for my "improved photography" to you. All of the countless emails you have answered, no matter how stupid the questions may have been. That's what photo.net is all about. Thank you very much for that.

Wow. Very nicely done. Nothing to improve here.

I have nothing to add to a perfect photo, but as I was passing by this one I had to comment. This is the shot that all lightning photogs want to be there for! Super!

It has all been said.

 

Excellent.

excellent capture. lucky? sure. but fortune favors prepared minds. congratulations.

having said that - a little space at the bottom would make it less crowded, IMHO.

WOW!!!! YOU WIN! : ) Thanks for you comments on my lightning photo. But this.....THIS BEATS THE PANTS off of mine.........what an unbelievable bit of photography here.....WOW WOW WOW 10000/100000

Incredible shot, great timing and composition, well done!

Wow!! This is fantastic. Great shot. Leanna :O)

 

Thanks again everyone. Your comments really made my day. I haven't had much confidence in my work as of late, so this helped pick me up off the ground. Take care!

"Was bound to happen sooner or later". Congratulations! Great, very great, picture! Perfect framing and exposure! My (home) computer has been down for a while so I missed quite a bit here at PN. Glad I checked in to see this! Once again Kelly...I'm very proud of you!

Thank you so much Larry. You've been a great deal of help to me. Get that computer fixed soon, we need alot more pictures from you!

Workin' on it!

utterly superb, and tonal range on a lightning shot, dang :) excellent composition. well done Kelly.

Kelly, I'm so jealous because I live in a place with lots of water but never lightning. There is a lightning flash like this perhaps once every 2 or 3 years. You can only capture an image like this with skill at storm watching AND photography both. Best wishes to you.

Thank you for the comment Kurt. This is my best lightning pic so far.

One of my favorites in your collection.

 

Best regards.

cheers!
