Not sure I get the firework connection here...

Nice composition, and restrained use of colour. Setting the black level high enough to eliminate any detail other than sources of light works well. And I like the way you've matched the frame with the colour of the star bursts - nice touch.

The exaggerated "lean in" works well here, as does the softening effect of the smoke haze. Like the motion blur of the characters in the foreground.

Mono was a good choice. All round fine pic!

You've brough out some intriguing colours here. And well framed, too; I like the use of space on the left.

I would have been tempted to try framing the combustion point on the sparkler a little lower - the stem of the sparkler looks a bit incongruous. Not sure if doing so would have made it any better though, I'd have to try and see.

Nice.

It's a shame that the top of the firework's starburst is clipped off at the top. but apart from that it's well composed. Love the whisp of green smoke, and the way the stars are still visible.

Fire Works Magic

A completely different take on "fire works". Imaginative.

The overall effect works well. I am distracted, though, by whatever it is intruding in silhouette on the left side of the ember. And by the hard lower edge of the whisp of smoke off to the right. But that's me being picky - still a pleasing overall effect.

A bit over-enhanced for my tastes.

The Last Hurrah

Stunning. Loving the peak of clear sky and stars, and the texture and lighting of the clouds. The contrast of the orange glow with the dark blues of the sky is quite hypnotic.

A shame about the pink-ish streak across the clouds. Would have been a 10 if not for that. But oh so close...
