sufferring from subject matter exhaustion... and fireworks are tough to get right. Ideally, you would have tripod and v long exposure to catch a few at a time.

Definatly circle. Unfortunately you'll probably fall victim of the 'too many fireworks' syndrom. The color on this one seems odd. Like you bumped up the saturation to create the color. Not saying you DID, just saying it has that look. I like the placement, and focus for the most part seems ok. Not a lot of visual appeal, but I think it is technically ok. I do like how you did not place the burst directly in the center of the shot. makes for a better comp being off centered a bit. ~Heather~

Now, I quite like this flower photo though I would perhaps have dodged the flower a bit and maybe it would have been better if it were a tad larger in the picture. I'm fond of the background though, especially the red part at the bottom.
However, I don't find this photograph to fit the lines challenge that well, there are perhaps few lines one notices but they are certainly not a major part of the picture.

Nice work on the composition here, I agree with Mirdonamy and wonder if fill in flash would have helped any?

Awesome awesome awesome use of DOF. Great color in the background. Would like to see a version with more DOF as well :)

Pretty flower, I wish it was a little closer in to see more details on the petals.
