not as bright as your other lightning shots but maybe thats for the better as there is a lot more depth and drama to this image looks great at full size.
I love the horizontal bolts of lighting. The darkness of the sotrm clouds add such great depth and a feeling of imminent danger to this image. I wish I was standing beside you on the beach shooting my camera too! The intensity isn't lost by the smaller lines. Great job. Thanks for alerting me :~)
