Brilliant Forked Lightning Illuminates the Night Sky

Brilliant forked lightning illuminates the night sky, casting cool, volumetric side-light from the left upon a scene observed from a three-quarter rear view: an Affenpinscher, its dense shaggy coat, ape-like facial hair, and dark round full eyes prominent, rests upon a deep chocolate brown, classic spread eagle bear shape bearskin characterized by long shaggy fur, a natural irregular raw edge, and noticeably worn patches in fur, the entire composition conveying a sense of scale and grandeur through a shallow depth of field that yields a soft bokeh.
