Thanks Pat, I was sitting here on a dull night drinking heineken and I thought 'what if' I combined only 3 - 4 images instead of the 6 - 8 that were not working. And then I looked at them and thought, hang on I had lightning across the frame with in a few minutes so these should combine quite well. And this is what I ended up with out of 4 x images. I guess sometimes we over do things and they do not work out.
No matter how much Heineken I drink I can't seem to improve my photography.
Fantastic shot and fantastic work to get it to this mate.
