On HWY 96. Another deserved ribbon, I can't compete. Great Shot Maceo. I hope you have been doing well this week of storms. I can't seem to get out. Van

This is an amazing photo and congrats!! I'd love some pointers on how to get less grainy looking photos, especially for night shots like this one.

Wow! Congratulations on this amazing photo! I'm so jealous! I can't find a way to capture lightning even once -- and you have mastered this to victory twice :) And deservingly so! Excellent work!

I like this a lot. Conveys the myth very well, and is damn cool looking! That's a lot of lightning. I like the telephone poles heading off into the distance, gives a real sense of scale and depth.

What I liked: Wow! great lightning shot, and the towers going into the distance on the horizon is a great effect!
What I didn't like: Image seems a bit small, the title seems awkward to me. Why not "Lightning never strikes the same place twice"?

The row of power poles gives a great perspective of the immensity of this strike. Good capture :)

Wow! Only thing I'd've done differently would have been to bump up the saturation of the purple sky and the increase the contrast to get the lightning really standing out. Great shot all the same though.

Your foreground could be more interesting, but you sure caught lots of very impressive lightning bolts! I like the purple sky.

I like this one! It's alot different then most of the other pictures entered in this competition! (Including my own!) Good thinking, and I hope you were in a car with rubber tires! Or at least standing where the lightning had just struck! O.k. just kidding! I thought it would be funny! Har-har!

ooh, competing lighting shots. This one looks more like MOC. You know, I actually think sometimes you can get too many bolts in the picture. Here less may wind up being more. I think the telephone poles is a neat touch though. 6

This is great - I love the colour of the sky, and I like the added interest of the telephone wires at the bottom of the picture. I'm interested to know what the length of exposure was?

Maybe taking the black strip of sky away, would help make this image pop more. maybe a touch of contrast and saturation just a touch.
