Thank you for all favorites and or comments, greatly appreciated. I'd really appreciate feedback on this, it's my first artistic nude out of many from this series that I will be uploading a little later.. might do a couple more here after this one tonight. It was just meant to be lightning but I got a wild hair up my butt and decided to try something else with the lightning and this is what come about.
I'm not entirely pleased with the quality but these photo's where so fun and new to me that I had to share them with you all.

Hope you enjoy this series.
from this series:
I don't really do critiques, per se but I will say this--it's the most creative and unique lightning photo I've ever seen! I really love the idea! 
I do have some suggestions for next time should you decide to do this again--that's all they are is suggestions...they may not work or be to your liking but maybe you might expand on or think of something new because of them.
Scout locations all the time with an eye towards what you want to accomplish with your compositions. Something with a clearer and lower horizon than the tree row so you can get a full silhouette if that is your desire for the shot. If you're shooting in your backyard (which I could understand maybe you wanting to do with lightning nudes) Use a wider focal length and angle the shot upwards a bit. Experiment during daylight hours with angles, focal lengths and distances from the lens to get exactly what you want then when the storms rumble through you've got a good idea how to set up. Also, might use a sturdy table to stand on or build a sturdy platform to increase the upward angle a bit.
Looks like you got the camera setting about right--I might go for a little longer exposure...say 1-5 seconds. might be hard to hold a pose that long though. I think the way you did this was to pose until a bolt struck then changed. The backlighting of the lightning gives the silhouette. An idea for exposure might be a 30 second exposure at f/7.1-10 (depends on ambient light and frequency and intensity of the lightning) and an ISO of 200. Maybe start the exposure, pose until lightning flashes then step one way or the other and change poses until another lightning flash to get more than one silhouette in a single exposure.
Of course, Mother Nature has to cooperate a bit with well placed bolts of lightning 
Overall, I think these are pretty good! Keep thinking! I love it!
