Let me know what you think-
Thanks, Chuck

P.S.: As a side story, "lightning3.jpg" happened to catch a lightning bolt that shocked (didn't injure) a five-year-old child that was taking a bath when this bolt hit the neighbor's house, thus sending the charge through the water pipes.
Flippin hell these are excellent. All three but one and two are great. Curious about the shutter speed you used for the first; I presume pretty long in anticipation of the lightning burst.?
