The Carnival is Over

The is a beautiful image, but in my opinion borders on not meeting the challenge. I like to see a greater proportion of dark area with a primary subject; here the fireworks are competing with the city lights. If the exposure was shorter to dim the city, it would fit the challenge better but then the fireworks wouldn't look so spectacular. 5

While there are the darker areas, the lighter area just overwhelms the photo, IMO.
