The Finger of God
Wow this is a knock out shot. Talk about drama, I don’t know how much color manipulation was done but this is one of the best lighting shots I have ever seen. Last week I saw for the second time the 2005 move ‘War of the Worlds’ and this photograph could have been used in one of their promotional flyers.
In addition to the sky, and what a sky, the plants in the foreground and the mountains in the distance act as reference points for the lighting strike, giving a three dimensional feeling. The subject, the lighting strike, is not centered in the composition and nicely balanced by the relatively tranquil sky over the mountains. I feel the small clump of vegaation in the lower right are extremely important to this composition.
