A simplistic but powerful image. I love the feel of gigantism that comes out of this picture. The dark sky contrasts perfectly with the bright but not overexposed lightning. I wonder what this yellowish layer corresponds to but I guess some atmospheric condensation. In any. case, it makes the image even more beautiful as it brings in more warmth. Well done !

A very cool and creative shot ! I really like the presence of the silhouette in front of the lightnings. The image is sharp and well focused and the lightnings are well exposed. The only issue I would have would be with the blurry foreground with plants having a weird haze around them, but this is noticeable only if looking at the picture for a long time. Other than this, this is a brilliant picture in my opinion !

This is truly a wonderful shot. The colours and vibrance are on point and having both fireworks and lightning is absolutely unique. The only thing that prevents me from rating this as a top 10 is the fact that I do believe that the main subject here is the fireworks and the contest is about lightning. However this is again a wonderful image, congratulations !

A brilliant picture ! I lover the composition of this image and the overall feel that comes from it. The storm in the back is beautifully exposed and the lightnings are well visible. I like that every part of the image is in focus, making it a beautiful and sharp landscape. The tones and exposure are also perfect. Congratulations !

I really appreciate the story or scale that one can interpret from this image. The church symbolises divinity while the wrath of the skies hit earth. The tones and exposure are on point. I also really like the presence of lightnings in different plans and different parts of the pictures. A beautiful and powerful shot !
