		| | The Bell South tower does it for me.  Gives size and height to the exploding firework. And the street colors down below glow very well.  Then again you did pick a very good time to take a fireworks shot with the blue above and showers below.  Once again excellent capture. |

		| | Yay...the Batman building!  I've lived in Nashville all my life...this really showcases downtown nicely!  Do you live in the Nashville area, too?  My hubby and kids and I live in Franklin...are you familiar with that area? |

		| | Congratulations Shannon! You are on a roll! Nice fireworks scene, too! 
 add: just noticed that the firework looks kinda like a blue ribbon... coincidence, or a subtle cue for voters' subconsience? :)

		| | This would have been fantastic if it weren't for the overpowering Bell South building. Cropping immediately to the right of that building would in my opinion improve the photo a great deal. Still very good though. |
