Your first lightening photo, really? - Excellent.
You should have seen my first efforts LOL
You received an interesting mix of comments during voting, I am guessing because this is technically very good and a number of voters will be impressed by the cature. The lower votes from those that would expect a better composition.
I really like the sky color and the main subject, the lightening itself is well exposed and captured, but the overall composition is weak. The buildings in the foreground don't add to the shot. It looks like you took an opportunity to capture this from your backroom window and it shows a little. I guess the difference between a good shot and a great shot.
Overall I like it and think that you have done very well. Please, please use this as the beginning and go out and capture more storms. You seem to have a talent for exposure. I look forward to seeing more of your pictures on DPC in the future
