Really great pic, excellent work

Looks amazing, very good job author.

excellent work looking pretty good

Really good picture. Well done!

ahahahahahahahahahahhahahahh

very nice

ops! great problem with depth of field! how is it possible the lightning cross the crown of a tree and reach the stem of the tree? the lightning is at the foreground!!!

that's a real miracle of Photoshop

good work

@having fun... lightening can hit anywhere. I had a kid get hit right next to me walking home from school about 23 years ago, and we were walking under a big tree. Also lightning managed to hit the radio next to my head abotu 10 years ago, and i have two large trees outside my room beautiful creation author, best yet

Awesome Job!

I agree with Havingfun, and the water coming from the hand could be less opaque...also there should be a highlight on the hand...

This is not bad graphic ^-^ .. damn with storm lightning, cloud that full with rain water, and also the water that splash out from the hand ^-^ .. great job bro, can share with us your working tutorial ?

i don`t know what to say ....i`m shocked

front of the house should be shadowed more, the moon i sbehind.

Stunning! Absolutely Fabulous!

usually (keiley22) when it thunders everything lights up... and you are assuming that there are no other light sources 'outside' of the picture... this is an illustrative piece. as you can see the moon isn't actually that big in real life either...

Love this!

Amazing view

why itz not raining this time

looking at the image ramananjv, they look to high in the sky to be rain clouds... they probably rained further down the track. Very rare that ive seen rain, thunder and lightening at the same time... the rain usually comes after nice image by the way author, goodluck.

Stunning!

this is a wonderful entry. It is so common in my country to have lightning and no rain. They are called HEAT STORMS. the sky can even be clear. LOVE THIS> added it to my FAVS. GL

Nice image but could you please upload a high res whenever possible. I'd like to see your details.

U dont need reflection on the water.Thunder's strike behind trees so its not possible that u have reflection there.Colors are very good...gl

Good background, bad reflections at right...

great job
