Hi Alan, this shot was actually taken from a small aircraft in Papua New Guinea in the edge of a storm. I actually added filters after using Photoshop. Thanks so much for your comments!

Hi Xavier, thanks very much for your comment.

epic!

Hi again Liz:  Something I just realized that made this picture for me was the fact that you clipped those highlights disproving he point that clipping is no good.  Especially in the center, the clipped areas make the photo pop and sparkle.    It makes the picture!

Thanks Alan...my aim was actually to create the main point of the photo the bright centre, allowing the eye to be drawn in by the surrounding dark clouds. Thanks so much for your very useful comments. Regards
