 Pine tree at night, painted with a flashlight and a thunderstorm in the distance. This is pretty much straight from the camera.

Nicely composed and a beautiful sky. The light in the tree looks a bit artificial.

the lighting in the far right is almost impossible for us to see at this size - too bad - the image has a lot of potential

the idea of light painting the tree is a good one to bring out some detail, but it seems to overwhelm the sky a bit
