My name is Jerry Cotten from Lamesa Tx. This was shot near Lamesa with a Canon XSI on a tripod. The wind blew in the cloud in the middle and the lightning struck through it and backlit the cloud's edges. The National Weather Channel on TV featured my photo, won 2nd place in International Photographers contest, finalist in Nature's Best contest, and published in Outdoor Photographer magazine. Thanks for your votes!
