An appealing image that meets the challenge

What an unusual window! Your viewpoint with the illuminated window behind has highlighted the detail of the bells making them even more prominent and ap’peal’ing, sorry couldn’t resist that. You were right to consider this for mono and a good job you’ve done of it too, there is a good range on tones with plenty of detail throughout. Well spotted Eugene, hope you enjoyed your time in Budapest.

I didn't get to vote on this challenge, but if I hadn't fallen asleep I would have given your photo a 10. It's a beautiful shot.

Lovely conjunction. Beautiful shot. It appears just a little dark on the shore side. 8

I like the picture very much , but it looks like it's not perfectly angled. seems to lean a little to the right. Some correction in PP could fix that. A 6 from me

You’re right Eugene, I recognised that amazing lens immediately! Whilst I do like your image, I have to agree with your commenters, in the strict interpretation of the challenge brief it is more abstract than impressionism. As an abstract it is excellent a truly unique representation of fireworks that I doubt any viewer was able to figure out without your engaging explanation. I very much like your creative approach in using the amazing array of lenses in bold experimental ways that enable you to create some very original images, keep up the good work.
