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.
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!
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.
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 =]
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?
