Hmm. Nice idea, and the title matches the visual impression well. And you used the rule of thirds well in placing the water/house line.

However, as a photograph ...
The colors look washed out. Maybe enhancing the contrast would make it look better.

Good idea and it looks neat as well. Not very visually appealing to me though.

Nice exposure shooting directly into the sunset! You may want to play with the saturation a bit to deepen the pinks, but the way you have it here is really quite nice. Peaceful and delicate in tones and color. Nice composition as well.

You had a great time at the fireworks, didn't you? Congrats on yet another new picture on the top row! The colors here are great and the focus quite crisp. And yes, I can see the star - very cool! Only thing I can see to change is a very minor stray white bit at the bottom that could be cloned - and that's really a very minor nitpick. Lovely choice for the challenge!

Interesting perspective. Need to be clearer, though.

I like the image - the well rounded shape of the "flower", the bokeh for a background, and the off-center position. I would have preferred to have the crop be less severe on the bottom, showing more of the "stem"...but since I don't know what was down there, perhaps you made a wise choice.

Congrats for having this image land in the middle of your top five. I like the abstract quality of the fireworks, the multiple colors, and the slightly off-center capture/composition. Given that I like fireworks this photo works for me. Since PP is not permitted, I guess that sums this up.
