Hi Boothee,

It's not a composite. The clouds were lit up by some lightning in the distance; that's why it looks like that.

Cheers, Chris

Impressive! This almost looks like a snapshot out of a movie! An ingenious use of the lightning as a form of background lighting too! Simply an exquisite work of art! Two thumbs up for you Chris! :)
