Great shot, it was well worth the wait. -- hagadorn

Beautiful! Marvelous! -- carmenochoa57

i think its not real but good . -- cloudsch

No, I`ve seen fake lightning photos before and this one looks realistic. A lucky shot, to be sure. -- weathermatrix

One word...Amazing! -- tika77

Mr. Jim how did you get so lucky -- jodimiller

wow! -- jtschirki

We need to find a way to trap lightning, and use it to light the world. Why cant it just it a power line and go out to our houses. -- karentoth

Thus far, it has proved too volatile. Remember too you have to store the energy, which is not easy. Easier to just generate a constant flow that is used everywhere. I`m not saying it`s not possible but so far nobody has figured out a cheap way to do it. Remember in the business world, it must not just be do-able, but also cheap. -- weathermatrix

wow its amazing!! -- macky26

You must have been flying a kite, to know where to point the camera!! -- jhaddg

just beatiful -- little3nikki

My dad just picture this picture in some program and it said that it wa photo added art work. Great picture no matter -- moonbeam

Fantastic - How do you know that the picture was fixed? -- cindyhorn

Folks, this picture is real, and a really luck shot, but real nonetheless. -- weathermatrix

Hey guys, thanks for the comments... I didn't realize for years that the photo was so highly rated until my mom told me the other day, haha, as for its authenticity, there were a number of witnesses, as wxmatrix said, very very lucky, but real. The reason your dad's program says it was a photo added work is twofold- one, i added the copyright in photoshop and two has to do with the date tag- I do not set the date on my camera when the battery goes out, which is why it may appear fake. Thanks -- GDWeather
