Very dramatic light, Robbie. I could see cropping some more of the negative space in the foreground. I think you just need enough foreground to anchor the image so my recommendation would be to crop about half of the remaining foreground. Otherwise, this is excellent as presented.

I like the repost, Robbie. That looks just right. I hope everyone looks at the larger version that you posted because there is a lot more subtle detail in the clouds that just doesn't come through in the smaller post. Great work!!

Pretty awesome. Re-post is better with less fg.

Robbie,
Awesome catch of the power and wonder of nature. I never tire of lightning images and this is a nice one.
I was going to suggest a crop as well. I think though somewhere between your original and repost. I think the second one is now too tight on the bottom; perhaps just a tad more on the bottom? But we're quibbling at this point. ;-)
Thanks for sharing.
Lon

Electric! The crop is the way to go; nicely captured!

That's a great capture. If it were mine, I would also crop the left & right sides so the lightning strikes fill more of the frame. But that's just my opinion. Super job getting this shot.

So cool, I love the blues and the mountain outline 'horizon'
