I am going to be extremely literal with this challenge description...not something that I usually do, however.

The idea, in my intrepretation, was to make the point of color the subject of the photo...thus the shirt would be the subject, and that makes no sense in the context of the photo. So that leaves me with the unfortunate conclusion of DNMC.

This is a nice environmental portrait, though.

Funny. :) I am, personally, not a fan of the "halo" processing effect.

I'm thinking that cropping everything below the skyline, so that just the firework against the black night sky would add more impact.

Sort of sinister ;)

Cropping the left side would give the impression that the jacket was the "frame" of the shot and might be an interesting alternative.

Interesting dof choice. Different from normal floral shots.

Somebody is/was in Portland :) Too bad this wasn't during Rose Festival.

Not liking the border...presentation is part of the overall effect and all I want to look at is the upper edge. Not that a border doesn't add something, but not this one on this shot.

(And that is the only thing that I don't like, so nice job.)

Just a hint blurry, but otherwise great.
