Very nice! Excellent detail on the shell itself; nice color tones.

Really glad you didn't light the sparkler... the ensuing explosions probably would have made for an interesting albeit very "blown" shot. Definitely meets the challenge; very colorful, extremely sharp, fairly well exposed except as you noted with respect to your face. All that said, I'd probably have given it a 6. A good challenge entry, but you have lots better pictures. :-)

I love what you have done here Tim, great composition and as mentioned below this will be a cherished family shot. Photographically I think the bg is way too busy and I'd have preferred your sister with open eyes? The pose works really well and tells (me) a story of thanks on both parts :)

WOW - that is a beautiful snail and I thought I'd NEVER say that. What lovely blue/brown tones. You did so well.

nice setup, not a very good image though, but I think you knew that and were just fishing for comments.

every newyear we burn fireworks for over $ 20.000.000 in Iceland, thousands of tourist come to Iceland just before newyear to experience this show that everyone takes a part in and lasts for about 5 hours.

your setup would cost at least $1000 here, as fireworks are sold by rescue squads to support their work.

hope you have fun burning all of them :)

this is a very nice image, but as a shadow challenge entry I think the shadows need to be more interesting, this would have scored even higher in a daylight challenge.

the composition is a bit off, I would have liked to see the path on either side of the image, but not in the center. that lonely tree helps with the composition, without it it would be just bad.

I think this could have been a good entry for the GREEN challenge :)

lighting is great, can't get any better when you can see the rays of light through the trees.
