My first post...I am currently using an EOS 1000D with a 15-85mm EFS lens
First Pict ISO100, F6.3, 1/100, second pic ISO 100, f16, 10 sec

any comments let me know...always looking to improve....

OOh, ooh, I can almost hear that second one.
When a visual can evoke another sense, that's an effective visual, never mind what technical flaws it may have.
Regarding tech flaws, if that photo has any, I don't care, they flat don't matter, the image just works as it is.

Well done

I'm really interested by the colors in the second picture- the background lightning seems to be casting a red glow, while the foreground is much more violet. Anybody have any idea why this is / the physics behind it? Definitely an awesome shot, it's too bad we don't have lightning in the northeast US at this time of year or I'd be inspired to take my camera out in a storm...

The second image is decidedly electric! Try converting it to B&W. I guess it will look better. This picture is about form and not color...

nice catch on that 2nd one.

Just to let you know, to the right of the picture there is a big advertising tv screen on the side of a building, so the colour cast is probably coming from there
