*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*
Congratulations on your 7th place finish with your high impact image that meets the challenge well.
I assume this is some sort of catherine wheel type firework? Anyway, you have chosen a very suitable subject and handled it very well with your sufficeintly long exposure to display it in a very interesting way. You have also wisely decided to include its reflection in the water thus making it more than doubly interesting because of the ripples on the waters surface, it works very well indeed.
Unfortunately I find myself inexorably drawn to the centre of the bright oval trying to work out the detail therein instead of admiring the rest of the image as fully as I want. I think there's an argument for cloning out this part of the image to avoid the distraction, funnliy enough the reflected part is nowhere near as distracting but for conformity you would probably need to remove that too.
I'm not sure I agree with one of your commenters about the photographers on the right, they are discrete enough not to interfere with the main interest and indeed you would expect something like this to be enjoyed by others as well and so it adds a human element to the story, so I like it.
The light from the firework adds a nice touch of light to the surrounding areas and against that rich blackness of the water and the navy of the sky with its specks of starlight works really well. You made an excellent job which has been justifiably rewarded by your voters, well done. Sid |

| You've taken what's becoming a cliche light painting technique and made it stand out with a strong sense of composition and exceptional exposure control. Cool. |

very nice! I like the comp on this one.
for me I'm not sure how i feel about seeing the other photogs shooting this scene. It feels like they draw too much attention from your main subject.
one of my top picks! |
