My first lightning capture!

Using DSLR Rebel w/ 18-55 lens

Shot using 25 sec shutter and 3.5 aperture.

Please critique.

Really love the colours in this.

About the only thing I'd do is to crop it a bit to get rid of some the wasted space.

Thank you!!! Was thinking about cropping out the bottom and maybe a little bit of the sides.

i liked the reds in the first one... they seem to have gone in the 2nd one

Last one too edited, you lost the lightning definition

I liked the first cropped version the most. In the second one the colors are too saturated to my taste.
But overall good effort!

Looks good

Well done - but I'd crop it a bit - and I like the colours in the first one.

whichever of those are wicked awesome I would like to capture lightning also hehe

I like the last one the best so far, but I would still try and do a tighter crop on it, the colors look the best in the last, as well as the treeline , now ytou just have to get the framing a little tigher, and you'll have a great photo......
Not that it's bad now, but a tighter crop would help it a little.....

I like it but looks as if a longer lens would have helped on this occasion.

but that is very difficult to do with lightning though...
