    Kind of dream shot in terms of elements! to get lightning is also amazing. What is bothering me is the yellowish or bit brown bit patch in middle of the clouds......what is it? It is acting as eye pull. With these great light play and lightning, I would at least explore monochrome options! Good work!thumb.gif

    Hi Stumblebum...
    thanks for the feedback. That "brown" spot in the middle of the cloud is what prompted me to pull over and take the shot (the lightning was a surprise and not even noticed until I got home and looked at the image on the computer... dumb luck!!). That brown spot does not only appear in the cloud but if you look closely that hue appears on the horizon just under the cloud. The only thing I can think of is that there was a huge towering cumulus above the layer in the image and it cast this color onto the cloud above and beyond the frontal passage on the horizon. Whatever the cause it's simply one of the mysteries of mother nature without any help from this photographer (except for some levels adjustments in photoshop)... I had thought about trying to take that color out of the image... but I'm not that good with photo manipulation.
    again.. thanks.

    Fantastic Capture! I've seen this type of yellowish hue in gray clouds out here in the west.
    Out here it usually means one of two things in my experience, Hail or an accumulation of
    Dust.
    Unfortunately, out here it's usually Hail.

    Very Well done and thanks for sharing!

    Very cool shot... I like every aspect-composition, exposure, tone, PP. The grass/flowers in the foreground add a wonderful border to the gray of the water/sky.

    PLEASE-do not muck about getting rid of anything! :bluduh -(especially a naturally occurring "brown spot" that adds a unique aspect to your shot). Why does it seem like 'we' are never satisfied with pictures "as seen" anymore? ne_nau.gif

    For me anyway, the best landscapes are the ones that represent what the photographer was actually looking at when the shot was taken (to heck with what Ansell Adams 'may' have done! rolleyes1.gif). This is what separates a fantastic landscape shot and a manipulated piece of "art"...

    :D

    Anyway-good one!
    If every keystroke was a shutter press I'd be a pro by now...
