This was a trade off to get the lightning and the crowd in the shot. I had to shoot it to nearly wash out the fireworks to get the other two elements. Lightning looks best around f5.6 at iso 125, and fireworks look best around f16 and iso 100. The crowd under the street lighting was easy. That's just a time exposure basically.

My fav of the fireworks shots. The extra elements of interest with the clouds and lightning strike and illuminated crowd make the shot work. Bumping this to a 10. I expect you should be a ribbon contender. 10
