What an amazing photograph, Stephen...the depth and power of nature is shown brilliantly in this...fantastic work! #9189320Ron McEwan January 24, 2011
What an exciting shot this is. Do you and Bobby Goodman bump into each other while out shooting lighting? Great shot here for sure. #9189933Stephen S. Maguire January 24, 2011
Bobby shoots a little bit farther north then I do. I would like to get with him sometime and do a photo shoot with him. Maybe sometime this year. #9189937Dianna Murphy January 24, 2011

Another excellent capture of the lightening strike and love the color!! #9209160Dick Jenkins February 02, 2011
Worth more than an editor's Pick Stephen. If you asked all the BP members to post their dramatic lightning shots would you get 10? Keep up the good work and don't be discouraged. #9209170Robert R. Goodman February 10, 2011
