near miss

Shot this with a 300 on tripod but the high wind caused some motion blur so I thought I'd see what I could do with it in PS.
Northwest of Spur TX, just off the caprock.

Quite striking! IMO, This is a great image. It must have required some patience to get it. The thickness of the strike is amazing. The scene brings to mind paintings of Andrew Wyeth. Stark, lonely country houses. Vulnerable and raw.
