Messing around outside my house. Never caught/processed lightning like this, so any PP suggestions appreciated. Cropped from 24mm:

Nice shot maybe crop or clone out the branches in the top left as there not enough to frame the shot so for me they are distracting.

Thanks Flyfisher. I agree. I tried cropping out but it cuts off the branches of the lightning in the lower left, which looked worse. I will try cloning or dodging it out maybe.

I may also post a wider shot to give perspective.

Thanks again.

Here's a wide view of the same shot with the branch cloned out (poorly - still learning LR) plus additional adjustments to brighten up the bolts. No. 3 has same adjustments from No. 2 but crop from No. 1.
