Sorry but for me this is just not a very interesting photo. First off it´s black and white wich means no interesting colors as what is so good about fireworks in the first place. Secondly, there is no real detail in the shot, blown highlights or just pitch black with a hint of a hand in the right corner and I really require image quality to like most shot´s. Unless this is all intentional I encourage you to use a smaller aperture/lower ISO or both next time when shooting fireworks. Thus I voted 3.

Fireworks on the dock.

I assume you know this already but just in case... The shot suffers from motion blur, would have vastly improved it if you had used a tripod. I like the christmas lights around the firework though so just use a tripod next time and your all set.

I am terribly sorry but I can´t understand why you chose to make this b/w, I can´t imagine it looked better monotone. Shame as I like the castle and this had potential, I at least like the composition. 5 from me.

Fireworks of nature

Well I guess this is taken in Iceland. All I can say is one of the most original and refreshing fireworks shot I have ever seen, instant 10 and a fave. I personally would have darkened the sky though to draw the aurora out more but that´s just nitpicking.

Wish I had taken this and hope you win!

Nice shot BUT, this is a challenge about fireworks and it took me a good 3-4 seconds to actually find the firework in this shot, that sky is just WAY to prominant and dramatic and attention stealing for this challenge in my opinion. I went so far as to knock off a point cause of that but just 1. I do like the shot though but again, the sky just looks too wierd for me. Don´t know cause it´s from long exposure movement or some wierd filter you put on it in post processing but it´s just not to my taste. I do like the use of purple vs. orange. Bottom line is I voted 6.

Well this works nicely and a good alternate composed shot from most in the challenge. Like the coloring. 7

Nope, had a hunch it wasn´t his. Post processing VERY far from bad but not quite up to his level :)

Pretty nice shot depicting what is going on here in Reykjavik during newyears, I like it but I have also seen better, the choice of foreground could have been better.
