I like the color for the sky...I tried to do lighting before...I got the same results.

I absolutely love the sky behind the lightning in this. I wonder if not being able to reproduce it in art has anything to do with the fact that none of us has ever seen lightning for more than a fraction of a second....? We can view it in photographs, but that is a different image... it's not the real thing. It's just a thought.

I might have to try this again. Maybe... I don't know. I hate failing at stuff and I'm pretty sure I can't do it any better than the last times I tried.
