Thanks everyone for the nice comments. Those of you who can't figure out why its a triump: its a personal triump, much like the winner. Only the 2nd time in 2 years I've got a good lightning shot. Oh to the person who asked about the orange clouds, it was actually a really low golden moon just off to the left :-)
Cheers all.

Great photo.
08/07/2007 08:31:29 AM
Great timing. What a beautiful scene.
08/07/2007 01:45:20 AM
A very, very cool shot, but I don't see how lightning means triumph.
08/06/2007 11:47:59 PM
Very interesting. I love the colors and your detail is amazing. What are the chances of getting such an amazing combination of elements in one photograph!
08/06/2007 11:31:49 PM
Great timing. Exposure was well handled.
08/06/2007 07:46:37 PM
mother nature at its finest...i love this shot..well done
08/06/2007 11:54:24 AM
Beautiful lovely capture
08/06/2007 11:41:40 AM
I'm really getting the challenge from your shot. That said...it's an outstanding image. Nice work.
08/06/2007 03:06:46 AM
Well done with getting the shot
08/05/2007 09:14:37 PM
Fantastic photo which I like very much but which doesn't say "triumph" to me.
08/05/2007 03:03:26 AM
great shot, but I just don't get how it fits with the challenge of triumph
08/03/2007 08:05:03 PM
Great timing and contrast. The left side of the dock is so peaceful compared to the right side which captures the angry lightning and its double reflection.
08/03/2007 02:09:59 PM
very impressive
08/03/2007 09:26:51 AM
Who won what?
08/03/2007 03:27:42 AM
cool
08/03/2007 01:45:38 AM
wow, great shot. I especially like the reflection in the water
08/03/2007 01:03:38 AM
We call those lighting bolts around here, not triumphs.
08/02/2007 09:24:31 PM
wow -- very nice shot
08/02/2007 09:04:47 PM
Great capture. I really like the tiny ripples in the water. Great comp.
08/02/2007 02:22:22 PM
I took a lightning shot but im afraid this is just a tad more impressive :D beautiful lightning and lighting
08/02/2007 02:11:04 PM
this photo wows me (8)
08/01/2007 11:09:30 PM
10!!!! Love this shot! My ribbon choice. Good luck and well done!!!
08/01/2007 10:15:32 PM
Very beautiful, nicely captured. Not quite sure what the triumph is though, unless it's catching lighting on camera. It's not too hard to do with a long exposure and an electrical storm, though I don't have any this nice looking =]
08/01/2007 10:14:18 PM
Great catch and colors.
08/01/2007 08:02:01 PM
A fantastic shot - truly worth staring at for a while.
08/01/2007 03:14:53 PM
Wow. Is the glow on the left from sunset/sunrise?
08/01/2007 05:12:11 AM
Nice capture - Well caught and great colours - I keep cropping out the jetty to just above it and think it makes a stronger image as there really isn't much foreground interest - Maybe pushing the challenge a little?
08/01/2007 04:56:44 AM
I would have used that same GREAT photo with a different caption!
08/01/2007 01:25:53 AM
nice job for basic editing..only way I could ever accomplish this is fake lightening...great job...should ribbon..gl 10+
08/01/2007 12:47:00 AM
Wow, congrats on getting them both in the same frame.
08/01/2007 12:18:44 AM
nice shot
