The more I look at this the more I like it. When I wrote my comment I thought about removing the bit about the spelling but left it in. Man that must be annoying hearing people complaining about the spelling for a week. lol sorry.

Cinco de Mayo

sorry about the spelling That was a fat finger mistake.

This was not out of focus I was on a bridge with traffic on it and the vibration made the image look out of focus.

Thanks all for the comments if you happen to come back for another look.

Sinco? Fireworks aren't traditional here for Cinco de Mayo. Nonetheless, this is not your typical fireworks shot. I actually like it out of focus like this. Makes me want to get my 3D glasses out.

Would have like a not so tight crop.

Interesting, I almost like it's out-of-focussness!

Is that motion blur or focal blur? Something tells me it isn't motion... Also, I believe it is spelled "cinco," with a C.

I wish it was sharp

This photo would be so much better if the focus was sharp. This is not a good photo on so many levels. I recommend that you do a google search on photographing fireworks. You will be surprised on how easy it is.

Hmmm...interesting. Out of focus fireworks. I can see how that might work but I'm not sure it's workig here. I may have to come back to this one.

Sorry, Cinco de Mayo is not one of my favorites right now! Lights are blurry.

Completely out-of-focus shot. The colors are nice, but that hardly saves the image. Also, you spelled "cinco" incorrectly.

That's very pretty! The bursts look thicker that your typical firework, so it almost look like a beautiful flower bursting. Love the colors and the way the burst composed itself :)

This would have been a great shot if it were in focus. When shooting fireworks, try to focus out to infinity and also zoom out enough to try and capture all the bursts. You can always crop in around one particular burst later.

Nice colors, but I think it's spelled "Cinco". I didn't deduct anything for the title; I like the picture.
