A somewhat belated POTW this week! And the reason for my busy schedule is the subject of this picture! Boy you guys have sure been busy this week... some very nice images came out of the Melbourne shoot and I very nearly gave it to Bob G AGAIN for his sloop (epic?) image: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=32560I also very much liked Ozimax's Yosemite image viewtopic.php?f=18&t=32548But this week, for purely self indulgent reasons: 1) I love thunderstorms 2) I would have loved to take this shot 3) Guess where I work! It goes to Cre8tivepixels  There is a lot going on in that photo... and very nice "flash" work

Dan
You've taken some great lightning shots in the past, but this is the best I can recall. Congrats.

congrats Mr G, it truly is a pic to look at for some time, and you should print this "money maker" out for your home or studio.
love the mix of lighting, very nice image!
