 This was taken from the roof of my house from a tripod. I had a hard time getting the focus just right, but was pleased with this capture. I'm hoping for a more interesting backdrop for my next lightning shot. The only modification I made to the photo was a crop. As always, thanks for all of the comments!

Not an easy subject to capture. Not sure that the b&w works think I would prefer this in color.

Nice catch! Foreground trees are a bit out of focus though.
