Love the tall burst, not so keen on the hand held look of the lower lights, perhaps a vertical crop of the right hand side would limit the impact that it has. perhaps even just above the street lamp. Good Luck, 6

Lots of firework activity here, definitely good for the challenge. The top-right is easily the most spectacular element, and it would have been nice to have something to balance it elsewhere in the photo, but it's still a good collection. 6

Sorry, I thinkthe movement is intentional but nevertheless, I don´t think it´s having a positive effect on shot, in short, I don´t like that about it and voted a 4.

The composition and exposure are great in this photo. I get the artisticness of blurred areas, but am really undecided about whether it works for me or not. I'm sure some the voting on this is a bit polarized. But I do like the technicals, and especially the grain in the smoke.

I like the fuzzy!! Great color, too.

A tripod or some sort of stable surface to set the camera on could have helped this photo a lot. You have motion blur in the picture and it is not from the movement of the fireworks.

There looks like some camera movement, I'm sure it was hard to choice a correct shutter speed for both sets of lights.

i find it very interesting how the top right fireworks explosion is nicely in focus and the rest of the image is swirled. My rhetorical question... was it on purpose or was it a camera bump??

I'd like this a lot better if it were in focus.

Too much movement of the camera, placing it on a tripod to avoid this would have made this a much better photograph. 3 from me, happy new year and good luck.

blurry ...

Tripod or other support would have made this a good shot ... now it is too shaken, sorry :-(

Interesting photo. I like how it leads the eye.

Too bad about the blur. A tripod will fix that.

Well I do hope I'm not the only one to say this, although I fear I will be: I love the camera shake! It makes the whole image seem alive. :-)
Also I like the colors and the composition very much.

Wiggly Camera perhaps?
