sbs??

i love this picture!

Nice Shot Author, You can tell its HDR which IMHO is not a bad thing at all. Some shots just lend themselves to it. This is one of them. (Just one point regarding composition and not a big one). If you had moved to the left just a tad and left in the green truck, I feel that it may have had a bit more impact. I do like this shot though! Voted.

like the effect with the lighting

Congrats

Perfect filter work for this, nice job.

Hooray! Godzilla Rocks!

power should be greatest at the vortex of the swirl, add lens-flare?

But will he get his coffee? Or maybe he'll end up lost in the woods, making some brew with roots and a suspicious mushroom... I need a coffee!!

Great job, like the detail of the cups in the background!!

as simple as the story is, you did an exceptional job creating it.. awesome work .. good luck

Thanks, it's a lovely photo.

I love the concentration in her face

This is really lovely, but did you add the vignetting?

Nice

That is one smile, thank you for sharing.

beautiful

Wow this is beautiful, I dream of getting a shot like this, but like Mark we don't get storms like that here. The last few thunderstorms Ihave encountered in other places have had tropicla rain at the same time.

Nice shot

Cool. I would love to do some lightning shots, but we never get bolts. Not sure I'd use a metal tripod though. Nice shot

Nice...love the BG on this, most people just shoot the fireworks, you have choosen to include the entire scene...well done author

The movie isn't "the color gradient," tho...lolol!

IMO a gradient would be better than a flat color.

Oh, thank you I've just discovered I'm daltonic, anyway great minimalist poster, GL!

This is a good monitor tester!
The hex code for purple is #4D198D or 3F0584

My monitor shows this color to be 2d3091...Too blue, with not enough magenta...
But that could just be my monitor. I've posted the hex codes in case it's not me.

Nice one, maybe you can make the text "Is it safe" in the same color as the top of the background from the poster, so you can read it a bit better and there may be nice repetition of color. Good luck!

Needs a couple of diamonds on the road or somewhere in the image...Or maybe a toothbrush or dental sign...lol!
Nice entry.

Nice heal on the Polar Coor, Good Luck author!!!

Nice Job Congrats on first place Win

minimalist art... I like it...

Nice Congrats

Great shot

Hey Falling horse, next time there is a lightning storm. Get a dirty great big lightning rod and hold onto it. Your bound to catch a lightning strike then.

Well done - would love to have the ability to program my shutter to fire like that. It has a 2 second delay or continous, but no way to make them continuous at set intervals. I am yet to catch such an awesome lightning strike

this is great!

This is an amazing shot, I have tried for years to get a shot like this and although I have accumulated plenty of them, none as captivating and beautiful as this one.

congrats, well deserved.

Congrats

Congrats!!

One of those rare photographic moments! Well done, author!

This is very creative! Love your copywriting, author, well done.

WOW... Great catch

That is great, what time of the day was it. Was it light or was that the exposure time that made it look like day?
Don't think I have a time release on my camera, but should be able to do it tethered to the computer. What f-stop did you use?

luved da idea......something different.........all da best

Very cool.

very interesting work...best of luck author

Yes ok gives a lot more sense when you have seen the video.
I don't drink coffee, so I know nothing and do not care about the topic.
