Aha, this one is yours.. I was looking through the challenge trying to guess :o) Love the work you did on this one, very strong and interesting. GREAT title :O) Nice work Owen...
wow... catching all that should have been excided.. and scary :P ... too bad there wasn't a full moon... it would have brough the scary mood level to an even higher level
Wow! Knock my socks off! I am so fascinated by lightning and yet Im so scared of it. I love to look at the winding trails. Especially that large fat one that loops like a lariat. The colors here are amazing and the reflection on the water just astounding. Talk about the right place at the right time! This is definately my 10!
