Default fireworks, but unique shot (Lightning)

i was taking shots of fireworks and got this shot, which i thought was cool that i captured this in it, its not the most composed pic in all, not having all the time in the world to capture this but did what i could.
Hope you like it

Wow toryw, you captured two birds with one stone. The fireworks look like birds of paradise flying across the sky lit by that fantastic bolt of lightning. It's almost like a painting. Great work my friend. Thank you for sharing this wonderfull image.

Dave.

That is amazingly cool. To me it looks much more apocalyptic Like banshees flying across the sky in a storm... but then again, I read too many fantasy books

Great capture. I took some lightning pictures the other day. But this tops the best of those.
