An awesome machine Larry and I totally agree with Dave, there is not enough thought given to we poor photgraphers in situations like these. None the less you have a fine shot. I am all behind with commenting again Larry....work ruins Tuesdays and Wednesdays. My very best wishes to you as always....Ray

Ok, zoom in on the area you want to start with. enough to see details, then make the cloning tool a little bit wider than the wires.
When you pick the area try to pick something as close to what your trying to get rid of "aka the wires". To me this makes it feel more natural. You can even drag it for a little bit, but as soon as you see a change in color/luminosity ect. pick a new clone area using the same guidlines as before.
Did the same with the lightning. Took a bit above or below and cloned out the wires covering the lighting.
After that use the paint brush and high light where ever you see that wonderful noise. I got close to the lighting bolts but left them alone.
Since the picture was dark didn't have to worry about details a lot. Then I used the remove noise function and every where you high lighted with the paint brush tool, noise will be really removed to a large degree.
Used the same paint brush tool and then picked the lightning bolts but instead of reduce noise I picked unsharp mask. Made them really sharp, almost too sharp...
Then highlighted them again, and used the remove noise function. It gets rid of the noise but since you made the lightning bolts so sharp, they don't loose their "bite" !
I also dodged your lightning bolts a bit, just to make them stand out a bit. I think it took about a half hour or so.
I just got back from work so these "instructions" are given after a 12 hour shift and no sleep. I hope this helps. If there is anything I didn't explain well let me know. Im sure their a lot of other people that might read this, and know a better way too. Everything I learned is self taught so far. This is photoshop elements too.
I finally am going on vacation so see you in a week or so.
Your welcome Larry
Mark

Hi Larry....didn't understand the problem in the previous shot and went off on my own tangent totally oblivious. I agree with Dave but sometimes we just have to enjoy the shot as it was taken. Mark has done a good job of cloning out the cables and cloning in to repair the lightning. I also agreed with Ron Wilson's comment on the first posting. Well done though Larry, lightning always makes for a good shot.
I'll be in touch with you later today or early tomorrow....Very best wishes...Ray

I can see why you wanted to clone out the wires, Larry, but it's still a great lightning shot.

It has been many years since I tried my hand at catching lightening and I just went for several series of shutter open and lens closed down...the flash, close shutter....Varying the times and apertures. It is a bit hit and miss but fortunately in the age of digital there is no film wastage. Just keep the camera dry.
I do like what you have got and it is so much better to get fork rather than sheet lightening. Best wishes Larry.....Ray

Hi Larry....it seems ages since we saw you last. I hope you are keeping well and that everything is OK.
This is a beautiful warm coloured floral with great details my friend. It has helped to brighten a very grey day in the UK. Very best wishes to you.....Ray

Larry it has an impressionistic feel to it, guess I would need to see the original. I usually zoom in on where I want to clone out and pick something really close to the wire or speck that I want to remove. Try to make it small so it doesn't stand out as much. Takes a lot of time though. After trying to shoot lighting this is hard lines or not.
