Very blown out. I wouldn't know what I was looking at without the title. The utility pole on the right border needs to be incorporated into the photo to provide a leading line to the sky.

I think we're missing a lot, because of the blown half of the picture. It looks like it might be a pretty fantastic shot if the brightness were cut back so we coud see some of the details of the fireworks.

It is just a bit bright for me. It captures the effect that I am sure you were after, but the telephone lines are distracting.

The hot spot is too big really. Maybe color would have suited it better?

Hmm. You sure it's about motion blur and not about freezing action?

Too washed out. Were you trying to go for streaks of light?

why black and white? because the overexposure made the fireworks go all the way to white is my guess - I find the light poles and the silo of the street sign distracting - could have been easily cropped out - but the huge overexposure and the black and white when I know there was spectacular color if I was there really hurt this for me. 3

Some interesting highlights are being created in the darkers areas from the fireworks, but the fireworks area is too bright and overwhelms the rest of the photo.

Wow, the blown highlights are killing me.
