Comment by dsidwell:
My mistake, I asked my physicist father-in-law how many volts this was and he said, 'One inch? That's about 60,000 volts.' So my title is correct; the description is not. I corrected the title without correcting the description. Thanks for your votes; I'm surprised it did so well. There were many shots in this challenge I thought would whollup this one. Including YOURS probably!

Congratulations! This one was the first that caught my eye. I still think it deserved a better score. Anyway, you was so close to add a new ribbon to your collection... Not that you don't have enough. :)

Beautiful color, great detail. I'll be honest and say I wish the prominent leaf was completely in sharp focus, but I don't think it detracts, more of a personal preference. Your light usage is very upfront, set off nicely by the shadows in the background, and so fits the challenge wonderfully. A very good image. 8

Fantastic capture. I really like the colors and patterns this forms. I don't quite understand all this electric physics stuff, but it sure is purdy!

Beautiful lighting and color tones. The focus is spot on, and only that which should be sharp is sharp. Well done, one of my favourites for this challenge.

I lament, i have been taking lots of leaves lately, and I must say I really like how you captured these, the light IS very nice. It is consistent with the warmth of the fall colours. Nicely done.
