Here are a few pics I took the other night.

I hope you don't mind the comments - I feel a littel guilty as anyone capturing lightening deserves a round of applause. And your captures are very cool.

But horizons in the middle of these frames doesn't work for me. I am not sure where to look...at the sky? or at the grass??? The use of the bales of hay is excellent and does a great job on the landscape one of leading your eye into the lightening, but I would jsut love to see more of the sky, to get a reall appreciation of the broodinng mature of the storm.

Just my opinion mind....

Thanks for the comments on the crop. I made some changes to the original... basically just cropped them to the 1/3rd.

I appreciate the truthful comments!

I like them, but number 3 has something really special.

Agree, B&W works in that shot, nice job!

Great job on capturing lighting.

Did you reduce quality in order to post for the web? Especially looking at number 2, there's no detail in the bales. I don't know if it's because of how you were focused or during your post process. I think #2 has the potential to be AMAZING, but it just doesn't look sharp.
