Default Pictures of lightning storm in Mexico

Just got back. Managed to snap a few lucky pictures of a lightning storm while sitting along the beach. I sat there just snapping pictures hoping to luck out and catch one good one. Took about 800, managed to get about 6 good ones.

Nice pics, I really liked the second and third ones. First was off to the side to much but still pretty cool. I like the blue effect of the sky.

The ones with the lightening to the right would make excellent Windows Wallpaper. I prefer having the intersting part on the right so my icon's don't interfere with the view.

Take this comment in the spirit of intense jealously/envy (and because I'd rarely say this to a female and mean it):

I hate you.

16a is a worthy candidate for a photo contest or as a stock photo, just crop out the ground. Gold star for perseverence.

Oh, and nice butterfly, that thing is huge.

Any chance of getting 313a in the raw/full version?

Haha thanks, that moth was gross...
Some people have mentioned entering some photo contest but to be honest, I really don't know how or where to start looking.

Anyone know?
