I really like the reflection on the water

Well done. Very good capture of colors (possibly best in challenge). I would have given you an extra point if you had leveled the horizon. And I think another extra point if I could see the whole burst.

A good shot that had potential to be even better. While the water reflection at the bottom is nice, it would have been good not to crop off the top of the firework, IMO, as doing so left the focus torn between the top and bottom of the pic, with neither really dominating - the eye is instead drawn to the dark area in between, trying to decide between them.

The reflections in the water are nice. Adds a lot of interest to the shot.

Good exposure time. Excellent reflection on water. Definitely one of my top three favourites. could swear I've seen this one somewhere. Good luck, hope to see it way up at the top

Nice image but here, the slanted horizon detracts, and I'd prefer seeing more of the firework itself as it is very beautiful.

this is one of those "if only" pics. great colors & timing, but it looses by having the top cropped off. Nice use of reflection over water
