Add me to the list of admirers. What grabs me is that my mind grasps the lightning as coming from the ground, springing up much like the cactus. Great image!

I think the impact is there on the right side where all the action is. But to me the left loses the right here, especially the bushes to the left. Have you thought about a vertical crop? I think that would work best. Something like this.

Thanks you all for the feedback! That's exactly what I was looking for, to see if it grabbed attention and was worth displaying/framing.

Leels, I played with a tighter crop like the one you suggested. For some reason, I prefered it with the negative space on the left. It adds a mystery to the image to me. I do like your vertical crop for magazines which I may try to get it in some day.

Thanks to you all!
