Hello from the Critique Club.

Your image definitely met the challenge, fireworks and the 4th of July go hand in hand. The red color and those silver tail bursts are wonderful. For me that bit on the right side where more smoke was captured did take away a bit. The city buildings were also so small that I almost thought I may have enjoyed the image more had it been cropped to just include the sky. The city lights felt almost more random since I couldn't identify them with particular buildings and so that light seemed to compete, rather than complement, the light of the firework. (The light of the fireworks is very geometric, when city lights are also very geometric to my brain they work well together but here the lights of the city aren't very geometric - I'm not sure I'm explaining myself very well, sorry.) The smooth water is pretty. Made me wonder if there was a reflection that I wasn't seeing.

So I saw a solid entry to the challenge. It seems to have been your only challenge entry, sure hope you come back.

Welcome to DPC, and congrats on a good score on your first challenge shot.
The lost bit of the top of the burst may have affected the voting on this one, otherwise, excellent fireworks image.
