Lights Out

...and they say there is no God!

simple and beautiful

1/30th hmmm? Good reaction. Nice shot my man, nice shot.

Great....!!!

Excellent image. Great capture.

it's nice photoshop, the photo is a lot better without the lightning.

...I email you the raw file, then you can try to remove the lightning out of it...:-).

ok, the lightning is real. but i still think it doesn't look right. It looks a bit fake (altough it's real). Maybe you should remove the lightning with photoshop, I think the photo would be a lot better.

Sorry, I don't photoshop scenes. Why do you think it would be better without the lightning? That would make the sky empty. What is your agenda?

I love this shot. I like how the lighting gradually fades into the clouds. I only wish there was more of it.

 

I can see how someone might think this was composited (I don't really know what a 'photoshop' is in this context - I don't see any retail stores in the landscape). Digital cameras tend to be a little harsh when dealing with highlights. But still, this image is marked as not manipulated and usually professionals don't need to lie about it.
