@ bmndibb3 - I wonder, whats the use for a 'decent-quality monitor' for a normal user if it will only ruin otherwise perfectly fine looking pictures? Or maybe you should try setting your display settings to 32bit color instead of 16.. I only get banding and artifacts @ 16bit. On topic, it's also a great looking pic on both a 24' iMac and a 22' Samsung T220 :)

Very cool! Thanks!

Wow, it passed the loupe :) Thanks for the comments! I dont like the lightning strike in the background that much, but too artificial pictures I even like worse, so i dont retouch it. Happy about 57 "like it" at the moment!

Maybe I should buy everyone here new, decent-quality monitors on which they can see obvious banding and other artifacts.

This works really well as a desktop on a mac. Having the dock at the bottom of the screen with the trees behind it is a good look. I'm also getting an E.T. vibe from this wallpaper too. Maybe the BMX was knocked out of the sky by the lightning...

Beautiful shot! Also looks really nice on a 13,3' Macbook Pro :)

Very cool desktop- beautiful on a 27' iMac!

Must have been a really great feeling when you captured this. Wish I lived somewhere with lightning like this!

Congratulations on managing to get this mediocre wallpaper on the front page in 3 days. You registered June 1. Either everyone magically loved this wallpaper or you gamed the system.

I made this my desktop as soon as I seen it, I love lightning!

I like it, I really like it, but it lacks something I don't know why. It looks like it's " just " a picture, and not a wallpaper, perhaps the forest I don't really know.

Nice catch!

I like how the lightning mimics the look of the tree in the foreground. Nice capture.
-

That is some lightning strike and great job capturing it :) Was the camera set to shoot repeatedly or did you just get lucky ? Cheers :)

Incredible shot! I agree with Dhaman, that background flash really makes this image perfect! Regardless of bmndibb3's opinion

I like that lightning strike in the back, too. It really sets the scale here.

Good thing you're here, bmndibb3, to make sure that we all see the imperfections. Aside from the terribly insulting and incredibly offensive banding, I like this one very much! ;)

Not bad indeed. From where in Northern Italy? I am from NI!
