My favourite of the bunch if this slow shutter could capture the audiences so sharp. It's just the reddish part of fireworks need further fine tuning. Anyway, it's a decent shot and well done. Good luck!

Nice streaking on the fireworks. great colours all flowing together in there.
Can't criticize the minor motion given the duration of the capture. 8 from me.

One of my favorite type of newspaper assignments is to capture "wild art", which is defined as "Stand-Alone, Feature Shot, Enterprise art are found moments that are intended to be realistic slices of everyday life" (definition taken from this glossary). These are typically images that caption themselves, not needing a lot of words to get their point across. For this challenge, I'm scoring images as whether I'd like to see them on the front page of a paper as feel good wild art. If I don't think they would make the paper, I'm then asking myself, "does it make me feel good?" If it doesn't do much for me, well then, oh well...

Nicely observed! Absolutely front page material.

A little over-sharpened, but what a delightfully fierce little bird you have photographed - made me smile.

Lesser Goldfinch, adult female. Good capture of her vocalization. There is a slight halo around the perimeter of the bird. I don't mind the fence. The bg is great. Feather detail is good.

great colors, love the muddled reflections. maybe a bit more contrast on the trees would look nice? 9

Pretty, but I feel the dream effect is a little heavy, and might've been nice to see more of the ring here, perhaps having the whole ring sit atop the red beads or whatever they are.
