Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature. Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines.

Lightning Reloaded
I'd shown the original version of this some months back, not long after it was shot in December last year, I've now seen the original on my new monitor and was kinda horrified at the noise, the suddenly clearly visible dust bunnies my old CRT just wasnt sharp enough to correct comfortably and here I have also dumped the big fat black border for a thinner white border and a different signature.
click the image for higher res: 
(I bought the 20" 1680pixel wide BENQ LCD 8ms monitor - so far I'm wicked happy with the colour balance of it - if this shot seems way off, it's the oil refinery lights from below that give that funky orange glow, and the two white spots upper right hand side are actually stars) Mark Greenmantle

Fantastic shot! Love the contrast of the blue sky and the orange clouds... well captured.
Am very envious of ur monitor!!!  "You are talking about the nonsensical ravings of a lunatic mind"
Terrific image Mark with plenty of colour,contrast and mood. Composition is great. Frame this one. p.s. You might want to get rid of a couple of little dust spots above the lightning arm running vertically up the page.
cheers marco
thanks guys...
those two spots are not dust, they are stars. I checked other shots taken in slightly different angles/aspects and those stars are definitely not dust.  Mark Greenmantle
