agree with the comments, this is interesting. wish that you had a couple in the L foreground kissing or smoking or somehting to add a main subject but this is still a great shot

Allow me to be your first fave on this. I love the image. While not perfect, this picture is just awesome. The reflections in the car and the silhouettes of the people set this image apart. Its not about the fireworks, its about the people watching the fireworks, the people sitting on their cars, there is a captured moment here. This picture is non-obvious, it is unique. This is the type of image you see in National Geographic, great shot.

An unusual take on the ubiquitous July 4th shot, and one that works well.

Very American - I like that you included the cars with the reflections.

Unique way of showing both sides of a fireworks display. The fire... and the people. Very nice.

Another fireworks picture...but this one is different! It's not about the fireworks, it's about the crowd! Very cool shot. Unusual. Nice work.

This is pretty cool. The focus doesn't seem to be entirely on the fireworks themselves. It shows the audience as well. Nicely done.
