Electric -City

With the onset of pre-monsoon rains, in the mid of summer, this is the season, when we have dramatic skies, and fire works in the skies.

Very cool looking cityscape.

This is a fantastic lightning image.

Certainly an image that draws the viewers eye. Nice capture. I just wonder though if the center strike might be sufficient. A hand-crop of the one on the left doesn’t seem like losing it loses much. I’m not saying to crop the image, but maybe just cloning out the left-side lightning.

Hi @ Balan Vinod!

Great job capturing the lightening. I also like the use of anchoring with the buildings at the bottom. The city is well centered and is an interesting element that the lightening leads our eye to.

I think the image could be stronger by doing a vertical crop so. The second strike to the left is cut off so that signals to the viewer that it’s not important. Might as well remove it to simplify the image. There is also part of the lightening bolt at the top that is cut off so if you have room to play with, you might think about bringing that back.

Otherwise I feel the image is well balanced.
