    Hey Ramon,
    Very powerful image! It appears that you cropped this down to a pano.......so I ask.....do you have any more room on the bottom. I know it's tough to chose where to crop bushes/brush but I feel a bit more base would help. If you don't have room on the bottom.......take a bit more off the top (about 1/2 of the dark grey band)....as this will lessen it's presence a bit and balance with the bottom a bit better.
    Still...very nice layers captured in the mountains and the lightning is tack sharp. Very nicely composed!

    Outstanding moment. Well exposed. I agree about showing more of the brushes at the bottom. Super picture!

    Hi Roman, thanks for the suggestions and thoughtfull comment, sadly I do not have any more room at the bottom becasue there were even more bushes and if would've ponited the camera down a bit more to include them in the frame I think these would've apeared OOF so I decided to go with this framing and also, with more room above, I could make sure that the lightning was going to be in the frame. Thnaks again!

    I love the colour of the sky and the mountains Ramon, and I always thought it would be cool to get lightening in a shot. I too would have like to see more FG elements. Beautiful shot nonetheless though.

    Lightning looks great Ramon. I also like the different shades of the mountains and the contrast in colors with the FG bushes. Reminds me of the Sandia Mountains of New Mexico.

    Although I agree that a bit more space at the bottom would be even better i just love the layers and colours. Stunning scenery and lovely composition.
