Didn't have much time to throw this together (10 mins) once I got home so it was a rush job, none the less still happy with the score! I was hoping the flag pole was going to play a stronger role in the composition but it didnt!!

Cory that wasnt D&B, it was an attempt at gradient layers trying to fade the stacked layers, with being in a rush it didnt work out to well

That's very nice with the arch in the picture.

Nice exposure on the fireworks and I like how you can also see the city behind. But the flagpole that breaks up the fireworks is a little distracting.

Would have been better if flag was illuminated,

Oh, it's a flag obstructing the view. I get the patriotism, but I think this would get another point higher from me if it wasn't there.

That flagpole and the garage/building are totally in the way.

The St. Louis Arch is a great inclusion though.

FYI - dodging/burning the edges of images that have really super bright areas is silly - it always looks bad.
