Bernard, what an amazing shot...did you use an extended exposure on this one to help capture the lightning? I think I would adjust the contrast to darken the sky just a bit, but keep the differentiation of the clouds on the horizon. Very nice!

Great shot Bernard!
I've done more then a few lightening strikes myself, but can honestly say that I've never had ANY turn out THIS well!
They have either been too far away, or been raining too hard, or too clouded etc etc etc.
Hats off to you on this one!
