 My first challenge entry. I've had my D80 for a hair over a week now and had a good shot with this storm tonight. This was also my second time ever playing with photoshop. Editing went something like this:

Levels
Brightness/contrast
Crop
Resize
Neatimage
USM

I'm not expecting a very good score as I'm just getting my feet wet in all of this, but we'll see what happens. I appreicate all comments and would love any feedback folks have to offer.

Thanks!

Good job.

Tip:

First thing to do is make sure the horizon is straight. Voters will skunk you for even slightly slanted horizons!

I like the lightning and the clouds. I like how the 15s shutter speed brought out the stars from behind the clouds.

Tilted horizon really blows an otherwise great shot.

Great capture of the stars and the lightning. I would have leveled the horizon, though.

This Picture has soo much potential. Pity about the soft focus and the sloping horizon. What are the white spots in the clouds?
