crop, sepia

OK, explaination of the title. I was shoehorning in the lightning because I didn't have a chance to go shoot for this challenge. I googled and found that an ancient religion used to call lightning the "Sacred Mother of Golden Light". I made the photo into a sepia image for the "golden" effect and here we have it.

By the way, I do not worship lightning or godesses. It's just a title for a challenge :-)

Nice lighting shot. Wish it happened more where I am so I could try to capture it.

Got a 6 from me, Julie. I hope you're happy with the shot. I've never managed to capture lightning, so I think it's pretty cool!

Great capture. I may have liked to see more of the bottom of the photo.

quick run through noise ninja would have helped the sky slightly ... you are allowed to clone out sensor dust in basic ... really nice lightning capture ...

We all have our definitions of sacred, yet this does seem like a stretch to me. Nice lightening capture.

You caught the lightning (a difficult enough feat) but the rest of the pic lets you down - it's a bit monotonal and there seems to be nothing interesting to draw the eye. A different composition and other colours would have improved this shot.
