Just a fantastic shot. The more I look, the more I like, it reverberates with warm contrast. I gave you a nine in the challenge. I like the vignetting, also.
Not sure what to do with this one. On one hand I love the image. Peculiar and pleasingly odd. On the other, even with a broad and liberal view of fireworks I am not getting it, even with the title. So I am going to pass on voting on this one. In a FS or different challenge where it wasn't so much of a DNMC I would score this well. But I hate to give it a DNMC vote here because I like it. So no vote. Curious to see your details and hoping you have shared your vision for the image.
Nice out of the box thinking and highly original, however the drab sepia tone and the fact that I had to actually THINK (gasp!) about it, does not overcome my expectation to see pretty shiny explosions... I can't really mark it "Down" because it is Technically fine, and well within the challenge topic, but it has no "WOW" aspect to it either, so I will leave it at five. Please continue with out of the box style entries though, I usually like them!
