I finally captured some lightning! My only regret is that it wasn't on World Pentax Day tomorrow

Nice. That's such an interesting shot, as it has foreground, background and the lightning itself.

One of the best lightning pictures I've seen - not the usual jagged line of light in an otherwise black background. There's a real and compelling composition here as well. Great job.
