"Lighting Does Strike Twice"
by Denise Catania

Comment:
At first I thought this was a double lightning strike. Looking at the surrounding scenery, it looks like a double exposure. Lightning is so hard to catch though.

Nice color. It's a bit grainy, but a nice shot overall.

Painter's Vision

Thanks for the great feedback. I used the good ole' Testors paints to set this one up. Yes, I do paint models in my spare time, thought not as much as I used to (as evidenced by the light blue). The color choices were completely random, although I did do some re-arranging to balance things out a bit. I tried not to put similar colors next to each other. I also tried a dark background, but settled on the lighter one because it brought out the contours of the bottles a little better. The "Made in USA" labels were turned to the front on purpose to make a veiled political statement in support of the troops.

Thanks for all of the great feedback. I took everybody's comments and came up with a better rendition of the photo. I've posted it here:

This was my first challenge, so it was very much a learning experience!

It looks like the colors were adjusted a little too much in favor of the blue, to the point where it distorts the color of the grass. Nice pic though!

Although I certainly dont share their sentiment (exactly the opposite), it does spark emotion.

Mother and child is a good depiction, but I'm not really moved by this one.

Intersting emotion and good use of lighting. A little bit lighter background might look better.

Good balance in the composition. It seems to capture the emotion of the current events.
