Your c&c are as always highly appreciated, thanks in advance for your

time.

Perfect shot ^^^ BR

really GREAT!

Another example of skill! This is simple and highly effective. Just one very minor thing. There seems to be a single white spot to the right of the lightning that looks out of place. BTW, a huge congratulations for appearing in OP. You deserve the recognition and I hope it will be a fruitful opportunity!

Thanks Mark, so you've seen it, eh? (the op feature I mean). Yep, it's just great being published on that magazine, I'm totally happy about that. It's also working as a very effective adv, my site has seen a noticeable increase in visits in the last two weeks, and  I already had some interesting contact from people who became aware of myself after reading the article.

Thanks also for commenting on this pic, I'm glad you like it. About the bright spot you mention, that's actually a globular lightning. But I agree that for a web presentation I should clone it off.

Cheers,

Paolo

I would like to congratulate both for your appearance in OP Magazine and this wonderful moment of time you have captured....  Kani Polat

Ciao Paolo!! devo dire che la mancanza della visione di tue foto in questo ultimo periodo mi mancava un po'! che ciliegina quei fulmini, grandissimo scatto!!

This is very very cool!! I love the lighten in the foreground!

Absolutely amazing shot here. I didn't understand why it was so far back in the ratings, then I saw that the trolls got a hold of it. I love the motion of everything, great job with your shutter!!! I love it!!!

Great composition and nice colors! What a sense of dynamism..!! Congrats.

Very special shot, the sense of motion is in every corner.
