Terrific!!

Liking the extreme close up, rarely does a cat do what you want!

Hmm...interesting use of the FE. The attitude comes through tho!

Both this and the colour version are stunning. They look so different too, not just a simple 'conversion'. Big, big weather. And in the meantime....the sprinklers are on!!

WOW. It's the only word powerful enough to describe this amazing storm/shot.

Incredible. You must be as delighted with the result as we are lucky to see such a bloody good photograph.

The fish-eye has done a fun job here, although I find the distortion a little disturbing.

Thanks! @Rod, I've learned that this year has been considered a relatively low activity year (actually one of the lowest ever) compared to an average monsoon season, so I'm not expecting much more this year. I'd like to be pleasantly surprised.

You're lucky you're not wearing the Rock; Mishka must be totally accepting of your antics now, even in the new environment. Ace result.

An extraordinary set. How often do you expect to experience displays like these?
