that is some serious lightning and a very awesome capture. I have to agree though with some of the comments below that the lightning can't completely carry the picture. The silhouette of the trees and mast there just make the pic look rather snapshot-ish rather than deliberately arranged, but i can't fault you for that b/c its lightning we're talking about here. Anyway cool grab

this is a fine fine example of extraordinary photoshop work to transform a photo into something of higher value. Great edit.

also, I tested it out on my computer, I think if you crop a bit off the top the 3 tiers appear more even... give it a try!

this is a very pretty shot, and I love the way the image is pretty evenly divided into 3 horizontal tiers. I think it would have more impact if you smoothed out the colors with a noise reduction program like Neat Image, and if you used some curves work to get that middle layer a bit less muddy. Good luck in the future!

the sky and those red linings around the clouds near the sun are just out of this world, stellar shot.

This is a perfect composition, the lines lead the viewer around the image and back into each other again, very awesome. Congrats on the top 10

Shootin Pool

yeah you have to fix your colors here. An easy way to get started is to set the 'true black', and 'true white' points of the image.

Try this: In Photoshop, click on adjustments > levels. Then you'll see these little eye-droppers looking things. One is for black, one for gray, and one for white. Lets forget about the gray one for now. Click on the white eye-dropper, and then click on the whitest white part of your image, this tool will make that pixel absolute white, and will adjust all of the other colors accordingly. So play around with it, here it will likely be the reflection on one of the pool balls. So with the white eye dropper, click on that reflection. The colors will shift. Then do the same with the black eye dropper, use it to click on the black numbering on one of the balls. Again, the colors will shift, and you will be on your way to getting rid of that unflattering yellow light you have going on in this image. You'll be amazed at how much this can transform your image! Get back to me if I haven't explained this in sufficient detail or if its confusing, good luck!
