What great depth! Interesting shot definately. I like the round patterns mixed with the flat patterns of the stairs, and the square pattern of the wire around the stairs. focus is very good throughout the shot. what an interesting find. good luck in the challenge.

Comment by Arachnophilia:
composition hurts this picture. when you have something so sparse that the central focus is blatantly obvious (such as with this picture) you have to pay very close attention to how the shot was setup. now, that might be a little hard while trying to catch a firework on film, but still. a different crop would be helpful, say placing the explosion of to the left or the right. other than that it's a fantastic (and probably pretty lucky) shot. the colors are really beautiful. 7

Great capture!
I think I'd prefer this in portrait orientation with the two black side areas cropped right out. The two white flares from the bottom would also look better in a portrait image I think.

a very nice shot of fireworks. Kind of hard to get to look good. I like the blues, and the angle and framing/cropping you have are nice as well. There are a couple smudgy marks to the upper right that I'm not sure what they are, but they are kind of distracting. otherwise a great 'blue' shot. Good luck in the challenge.

Beautiful shot! My only concern is the marks in the upper right corner. I don't know what they are, but it takes a bit away from the shot. I now see other spots where this is occuring, sorry, don't know what to suggest. Still, it's a great shot, so I'm going for a 9 anyway. Swash

My first impression is that this should not have been cropped so tightly. Other than that, exemplary fireworks shot, the kind I'd love to take - Inspzil
