I recommended this for DQ as it's too good to be true ;)

I'm hoping this image is legit, though. The only problem I have with the shot is that there appear to be fingers on the left hand side (?!). Did you achieve the dramatic contrasts with curves and selective colour? I'll be interested to know what this looked like originally.

Good luck with this challenge, a dramatic image! A 9 from me because of the weird black shaped silhouette on the left which detracts from the image. Good luck!

Not often I give the top vote to a picture which has a finger in front of the lens ;-) Dramatic maelstrom which really gets to the heart of this challenge

Fantastic content and rich colors. Foreground objects are a bit confusing and sort of off balance the photo. Good job.

Beautiful use of color. Excellent use of rule of thirds. Good exposure the lightning looks silvery -- difficult to pull off. -- 10
