Hi Grzegorz,

What a fabulous display of Natures fury. The lower cloud makes it look like the lightning triggered an explosion. I really envy you witnessing such a magnificent show. Great colours, very well composed and nicely exposed. TFS and enjoy your rest.

Regards, Mark.

Kia ora Greg! Good to 'see' you again!
And what a sky this is. The window in the clouds opens and out streaks the lightning, lighting up the sky. Good one!
So pleased you enjoyed your holiday. Have a good sleep, and we'll catch you next time!

Hi Greg,
What a moment captured. A full hit of lightning. The exposure of this photo is spot on. Great to see the clouds surrounding the lightning from above and below the impact. Enjoy your rest and hope to see some beautiful shots from your vacation.

Also the city looks great, the POV is very good and the exposure managed excellently.
Very well done, my friend!

Inusual, escalofriante y grandiosa captura amigo mío, con una increíble nitidez e iluminación... 15 segundos de exposición?.
Una excelente composición con gran sentido estético y verdaderamente artístico.
He quedado K.O. de sólo verla. ;-)

Hi Grzegorz,
I like this lightning a lot. The cloud in the mountain and the dense area illuminated in the upper side of the lightning are awesome.
Perfect exposure and compostion.

Hi Greg,
Hope you had a great holiday! This is amazing!!!! I love lightning pictures, but have yet to capture any decent ones myself. It is great, but that low cloud in there adds so much more. Perfectly composed. Great timing my friend. I love it!!!!!

Grzegorz,
Fine diagonal composition. good exposure (lightning is hard to get the bolt AND the city lights equally exposed as they are such diffrent values.) I like the blueness in the sky here. Great use of K.O. in the title (I seen the explanation in your notes)
Very fine image my friend,
Scott

My goodness Greg, what a capture! Iv always wanted to capture a lighting bolt but fear the consequences if my tripod becomes a conductor. I man was killed recently on one of my climbs in the Mourne mountains by a strike. Fantastic shot, well done.

I have been looking at this one for quite a long time some days ago, intended to vote later, and I forgot...
It is a very beautiful picture, much better than many of the comercial images of lightning I have seen around.
This is not a lightning picture, but a wonderful night lanscape of with a storm, there is a big difference ;)

Amazing shot!! The night lights geting reflected in the sea along with the blue tinge look beautiful. And you have captured the lightning really well. The white cloud near the area where the lightning strikes also goes very well with the mood. But I think a little more contrast in the clouds of the sky would have made this even more spellbinding! An extraordinary work, thanks for sahring.
