Thanks for all the comments! I'm pretty happy about the ranking as this is my first submission.
I handheld this shot while watching the fireworks. Yes, it was a bit windy that night. I was pretty lucky to get this shot =) |

We all know what we're looking at, but it's abstract and interesting enough to be able to say, "Hey, it looks like a jelly fish," or "I bet that's what an exploding star looks like!"... I wish the title made no mention of New Years, in fact.
This may not sound like much if all you wanted to do was put a long exposure on a firework, but in my opinion the abstract, yet identifiable value adds a longer lasting charm to the photo. The longer a photograph can hold charm, the longer someone will enjoy displaying it on their wall. At least that's how I see it.
A few minor nitpicks - I'm seeing some glare in the upper right, and the bottom left seems to have too much of a red tone to it. No worries, though, I haven't deducted points for either of these issues because those sorts of screen-to-screen discrepancies would be resolved in the final printing.
Bottom line... It's that time of the year again, and I am frankly bored with the same ol' fireworks images, but your capture here is above all of that because everytime I look at it I can see something else.
Thank you for the entry. |

Frame filling, that's good. Must have been a little windy? Colors are ok, saturation maybe a little weak. |
