The lightning looks a bit artificial if you ask me, i have done this tonnes of times on photoshop.

But nevertheless its a nice picture.

Love the colours. Love the title (Maybe a bit Bohemian Rhapsody inspired perhaps?) Love the clarity. Definately love the shot.

Hope you didn't get too soaked waiting to take it, if you did it was well worth it!

Perfectly timed shot from as good vantage point. Great detail and so dramatic. Hope you hadn't too long to wait for this. I would have caught the lightning above the Duomo in Florence if it hadn't been chucking down and didn't weant my camera getting as wet as I was.

Thank you everyone for your comments. The picture is real, I just added the blue. The lightning is on land so would not reflect from the water! Thank you for saying it's too good to win!!! Not sure if that's a compliment!!!
