Really interesting effect and a creative technique, although I'd expect no less from you ;-)
The lightning flashes in the background give a Dr Frankenstein feel to this and the lighting of the central object does have a very sci-fi look.
Thanks for sharing

Hi Chuck,
WOW! I did not know that NASA had the project to send a balloon of soccer in space! :)
Very creative work! Your patience paid you, the mood is so strange, irreal like science-fiction movies especially with the fortuitous electrical storm. I like the colors well contrasted and enhanced by the white and subtle blue tones. Very well done! Annie

Hi Chuck

Fantastic capture of the distant lightning bolts, with a wonderful unworldly coloured sky & a definite sci fi look & feel. Tfs!

Very fine result, Chuck. An image that took a lot of work to produce. And some risk too!
Take care.

Putting a very large metal pole in the ground next to you would be a lot smarter, Chuck (☺_☺).
Another special one. I particularly like the fish-eye effect, the lightnings and the work you did on the colours. But calling a football (or a soccer ball) science is a bit overdone, I think.

Amazing, as always! You put a lot of effort into your work.
Your note about the tripod reminds me of the priest in the movie Caddyshack. Glad you survived to tell the tale....what we wouldn't do for art.....
Cheers
