I'd crop it and see if you can fix the light glare in the right corner. Otherwise, congrats on your first lightning shot!

nice captures!
In addition to the above suggestions, I might also try to straighten them a bit. Looking at the roof lines it looks like the camera is tilted.
Keeping the camera level seems to be a problem I also have sometimes, but it can be straightened in PS.
