The triangle shape you created between the legs causes it to look like a frame, drawing your eyes to the center of the photo where you find nothing but darkness and some sky. I bellieve if you had pulled the legs in closer, perhaps crossing them at the angle, it would bring the attention back where it belongs. Good shoe choice by the way.

Hey Van, this is actually called ribbon lightning. Nice separation.

Had you cropped out more of the top portion of your photo, it would have a greater high contrast impact for me. Also, perhaps a little bit more of the land, but you captured a really spectacular sunset.

Beautiful range of deep rich colors. The horizon line bothers me a tad, but it's hard to take your eyes off the fantastic sky.
