Agree with Peter. Cutting and Pasting, even from the same storm and general location, is bad karma. Lightning photography is difficult, and composites are somewhat of an affront to anyone who\'s taken pains to be at the right place at the right time.
I do like to tonal scale and scene!

Let me get back up on my soapbox...
IMO, the brightness and size of the cloud area supposedly illuminated by the lightning looks overcooked and, well, fake. If the scene was much darker, and if the lightning illuminated the distant rocks as well, it wouldn\'t look so out of place. Try re-mixing the recipe, but use less garlic this time.
