Photographer's Note
This is the same place as my last upload, and all the info is on there :-)
On the last upload i made a mistake with the location! Ashey is actually (officially) in Ryde, not Brading (as my last post suggests).
Anyway, i would like your opinion on this image, is it better or worse than my previous image of this storm?
Thanks in advance of your opinions!

Hi Jamie,
to be honest, I find them very similar except for the overexposed patch which is smaller on your previous one, which I like best...also, and still on the previous one, I find the sky's got a little more details and depth...
Anyway, my two cents...

Bonjour Jamie,
le moindre que l'on dire est que ta photo montre le coté térrifiant d'un orage .
la composition est excellente , je regrette toutefois la partie cramée du ciel .
Du bon travail .

Wow Jamie!
this is phenomenal, such an opportunist image and in my opinion better than the previous post with the lightning strike all the more prominent and dramatic. Cannot fault the shot in any way - another stunner for your excellent gallery. Well done my friend.
Have a splendid weekend - Brian.

Hi Jamie,
What a unique and creative landscape post! Love the color contrast achieved and created by a special light here. Very eye-catching one. TFS.
Have a nice day!

Hello Jamie,
this is a beautiful and suggestive photo combining in a great composition the beauty of the spring landscape with the force of the storm. Depth and clarity are superb, light management is marvellous capturing the impressive colours and contrasts and the dramatic atmosphere in a marvellous way. I love the clear view of the thunderbolt and the way the "fire" illuminates the nearest trees. Great capture of a fascinating rare sight. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great weekend,
Ourania

Hi Jamie,
You caught a fantastic shot here ! I imagine you had to be patient to catch the thunderbolt. The composition is very well balanced and the impressive clouds that look in fire create an apocalyptic atmosphere. Very well done !
Regards,
Olivier

hi Jamie,
I love this one because of the prominance of the lightning strike, but both images are fantastic. The sunlight through the clouds is like a portal to Hell and beautifully captured with the flowers making a briliant foreground. You have a fantastic gallery of pictures.
Best wishes
Noel
