An amazing picture that shows a volcano lightning storm has been awarded the champion prize in the inaugural photography competition known as “The Perfect Moment”.

The amazing picture, which is taken by Francisco Negroni, the incredible image shows the Calbuco Volcano, which is considered as the most dangerous in Chile.

The amazing picture, which is now named as the “dirty storm”, is a phenomenon where hundreds of lightning bolts appear to be connected in a dazzling net-like structure above fiery plumes of gas and lava.

The overall effect of the rare phenomenon is breathtaking.

Max Rive, a judge of the competition, said, “This image shows a rare moment of the eruption of the Volcano Calbuco with truly spectacular forces of nature that make you stare at the image for some time.”

Max added, “It is the combination of the rarity of this natural phenomenon with the technical quality of the image that makes it so powerful and unique.”

Max added, “This image left the biggest impression on me and couldn’t fit the subject ‘Perfect Moment’ any better.”

The award was presented by the photo competition website Our World In Focus.

Francisco won $2,000 in cash prize, a Tamron 2.8 G2 Camera Lens, and a $200 voucher for camera equipment store Lens Pro To Go.
