 I do not expect this to do well. I like the shot but I'm sure it will be picked apart for not having a moon, stars, or planets. For a week we have seen none of those things, so this is my night sky.

Cool lightning shot, though a bit blurry. Still, no moon, stars, or planets. 3

I don't like the black framing, it blends too much with the bottom of the image. Otherwise nice image.

This is a great night sky - however the photo is quite fuzzy. And the black border adds nothing.

I'm not sure why you went with a border. But since you did, I think a little thin white line between the actual photo and the black border would have set the photo off much more nicely. Anyway, not a bad lightning capture, I've not been able to do this very well yet.

Nice one! The trees could be a bit sharper, and I find your frame unduly heavy. Some cropping from the right, perhaps? And how about placing that flash just a bit further to the right...;)
