Sure :-)

-The shape looks good, but the decrease in width is too strong IMO (in many
cases, the width/brightness of a lightning stays quite constant during the path) 
-It would be good to have the color fading from white to black/darkblue at the
edges. (you seem to use objects for the lightning, so this is probbaly not that
easy)
