Thanks for you comment. I looked at some of your shots, and you should know--some really nice lightning shots. I'll have to look into the filter. I'll look at the information when I'm at home, the file has all of the details there. This was a fairly active storm and only around 4pm, so I had the shutter speed fairly quick. I can see how making it darker with the filter would allow a longer exposure time. I'd love to shoot some more in the future.

I don't think your score (or some of the comments received) for this image do it justice. The kids have been captured at angles, in poses and at distances from the camera to make it very interesting. This is a great age to photograph - faces are alive, and their eyes tell stories in themselves. I would possibly have cropped the image down a litte to remove the over exposed regions. Given the circumstances it may have been impossible, however, playing around with the camera position may have added to the reflection. I like the image and look forward to your entries to future challenges.

A very cute shot, but the reflections don't really add to the picture. In fact, they look like something you would try to avoid in any situation, other than this challenge.
