| Oooh... opportunity knocks: since you obviously know exactly where the lightning hit, you should check the spot for fulgurites. They can be very valuable if carefully excavated. |

| So much for lightning hitting the tallest nearby object. This guy hit the flat Earth with two trees only meters away. |

| Whoa!! Certainly looks like a best, artistic shot and photo to me. If you have better than that, you are my new hero! This is a breath-stealer for sure! Congratulations on such a fine finish in this amazing challenge, but even more for getting the shot! |

| This is the perfect lightning shot! And, you didn't get killed getting it. Congrats on a grand shot. The tree on the right compliments the bolt in both brightness and shape. Excellent! Fav'ing this one. |

| Either you have a long lens and unimaginable luck, or you had to change your pants after this shot. That looks scary close. |

| Amazing what they can do with special effects these days! Ha, just joking. Terrific catch, I like how my eye travelled down the length of the bolt and then that "wow" moment when I saw that the light touched the ground in front of you. |

Powerful image! Ok, how many times have you heard that pun with this image. I can only image that your hearing was slightly deafened after this blast!
The image alone is not spectacular but with the lightning bolt, this photo is awesome! BB |
