No criticism with this photo Wayne. It's brilliant and I love it in monochrome
Cheers, Greg
I like it, Wayne. I wonder what the monochrome would look like in steely blue? Or would that be too natural looking for a darwin storm?
Hi Wayne,
That is a fine shot and great timing to get the lightning strike. To the left of the rain, there appears to be wall cloud formation. Here in America, we sometimes get tornados dropping from those. It's a feature storm-spotters and storm-chasers look for in severe thunderstorms and indicates a strong, rotating updraft.

Hi Wayne,
Great shot and great processing.

Hi Wayne,
I thought when you said you processed the image in monochrome that you meant you had captured it in colour and then converted it in the channel mixer; in which case I assumed you could process it in blue, yellow, ... whatever colour you choose. My photoshop skills don't extend that far .... not yet, anyway.
I like the B&W. It seems much more dramatic. Also, in the color one my eye keeps being drawn to the lower right expecting to see something. Perhaps if you toned that part down a bit.
I too, like the B&W best since the contrast shows the cloud textures better. The bright, lightning stroke is the first thing I see when I look at this version. Good job.

Hi Wayne -
Any way you look at it you've got a real beauty there.
