Hey Ron,
Really cool shot. Would you want to share how you caught it?
Composition/use of frame space - 3.5 I like this photograph a lot. I think that I would crop it down a bit as the lightning bolt seems a bit diminutive in the photo, yet is really the an integral part of the photograph.
Colors/White Balance 4 - They look great on my screen.
Exposure - 5 - What can I say? You did a great job of this. I am looking forward to your telling a bit more about how you caught it.
Creative use of Aperture/Shutter - 3 - There is not much room to play with this type of shot. You photographed it as I would try to do it.
Perspective - 4 -This is an interesting shot where my eyes start off at the lower corner of the photograph and work their way up towards the center and other less lightened areas.
Creativity - 4- A very nice photograph that obviously was not easy to get.
Emotion - 4- A lightning storm is about as emotional as it gets. Filled with charged energy, I suppose you can say.
Forethought/Visualization - 4 - obviously you did not just plan the camera down and take the photograph. Right??? you are going to share more about this, yes?
Post processing - 4 to 5- nice nice job. The colors ring very true to me. It looks great on my calibrated monitor at home. You did a nice job.
Other thoughts?
James
