There were obviously quite a few people who really liked this photo, but I have to admit that it didn't really "speak" to me. It is a night shot of course but seems overly dark to me. The fireworks jump out, but you have to really look to see the rest of the scene. I do like how the fireworks frame the tower. Exposure on this sort of shot is difficult, and you seem to have done a pretty good job at retaining some of the colors in the firworks. The perspective could be a little better if the tall building weren't directly between the camera and the subject. The cityscape is too dark to be of much interest. The real draw in the shot is smack dab in the center which makes me wonder if you couldn't just crop off a lot of the rest. Being at a distance does help in taking in the whole scene, but it's a shame that there isn't some way to take advantage of the situation and use the surroundings to really add to the shot more. I'm not sure that there's really much you could do given the circumstances though. Focus, detail, and noise level are all really good given the conditions. ~critique club

What a beautiful place. I like the levels of lanscape and the railroad bridge. I'm thinking I might like it taken closer to the left near the tracks. That's just a personal thing. Nicely done !

Terrific shot. Great contrast and good detail. Only thing I may have done differently is crop out the sky, as it's washed out. Giving it a 10, regardless.

Absolutely supurb! Everything about this photo is perfect. I love the beautiful detail in the foreground - excellent contrast. And then it just fades upwards into the clouds. Wonderful! 10
