Great lightning shot, very nice! I'm always a sucker for lightning shots, and this one is no exception: nice dramatic sky too! The only thing I would probably change in this submission (either when taking or when post-processing), is to crop off the bottom 1/3 of the picture, so the dark foreground (showing little detail) doesn't weigh so heavily in the picture, hence putting more focus on the drama in the sky. Either way: great shot!

Olaf, you are an editor that i can agree with, the foreground does need to go,about 1/4 though to keep the globe effect of the clouds strong, that said- it is a powerfull moving shot, with the lightning as a bonus, the effect of looking like a globe attacking is well captured.
