An excellent lightning bolt capture. The clarity is outstanding. You can take pictures all night and not get one that nice. The bolt itself provides wonderful lighting for the scene.

Just a couple of small items. The bird feeder or whatever that is competes with the bolt for attention and is a little distracting in the image. It appears to have a little electronic noise you may want to remove if you make a print of this shot.

It could be that the pole supporting the object is just a little crooked itself but you might want to check your horizon and rotate it ever so slightly counterclockwise if that is needed.

Congratulations on a great capture!

A brilliant lightning shot (excuse the pun). I've never tried to take such a shot, but this looks about as good as it gets. Doesn't say much to me about darkness in the emotional sense, but it's nevertheless a very fine photograph. 8

Very striking capture. Darkness means this?

I know how hard these can be to get! But, I would have looked for a slightly different vantage point. The foreground isn't all that appealing (and believe me I have ruined a few similar shots the same way!). Anyway I love lightning pictures!
