Afternoon Thunderstorm Approaching

There's a bit of everything in this shot of an approaching thunderstorm taken yesterday from our front deck. Silhouettes, great clouds, the Poinciana in flower and the lightning as a bonus. A bit chuffed.

Definitely best on black

Oh wow I have tried many times to get tightening shot but failed so I am very impressed! This is beautiful as everything in the shot is perfect - sky, light, framing of the shot especially the vibrant red of the poinsettias. Love it! Huge Fav!

[Pam Knowler]

Oh for goodness sake - lightening! Not tightening! Plus its the wrong plant! Just woke up! Lol!
