UNBELIEVABLE JAMES! What GREAT timing! I've never seen lightning like that before. Congratulations on a wonderful capture. #2472925Jill Odice February 27, 2006
You are brave to be on a beach in the middle of lightning...( Or Crazy :-) ) What we nutty photographers won't do to get the shot! This is awesome James! #2472983Margaret Sikora February 27, 2006
Wow James a top shot ,we experienced this last night I closed the computer down as it lasted for 3 hours, I wouldnt have gone out to shoot it,but a mighty shot and the colour is great. #2473008Paul Michko February 27, 2006

Terrific display of nature's fireworks, James! #2473183James C. Messervy February 27, 2006
Just awesome image James. A decent lightning shot is a bit of a quest for me, and I've experienced plenty of frustration. Your capture is really inspirational. #2476717Lynne Hoad March 18, 2006

Fantastic image James!!!!!! #2568499Hurk (Steve) Hurkett February 03, 2007
what a super wild capture, James ... I personally don't do well with the explosive sounds of thunder boomers ... it's a reaction from when I was in Vietnam back in the 60's ...Nice work ... Steve #3908947
