Default lightening
I need some help post processing these shots. I want to be able to make the strike stand out. I use Gimp and don't have an option to use PS3 or anything. I would like to know steps on how to do it so that I can still call the shot mine after editing. Any pointers?

ETA: sorry I forgot the data.

Focal length 38mm
F 5
ISO 200
SS 1/40 sec
