i like the colors and composition but there is a lot of grain in the sky that distracts a little - smooth it out and you have a monster shot

Good composition. I like the noise seen in the sky and how the lights in the foreground repeat the starburst of the fireworks.

There is a lot of pixelation and grain in this hsot. Based on the title I assume you are trying to focus on the fireworks as the subject, the issue is they are on less than 1/8 of the photo

way too noisy, way too red, way too over processed.

Quite noisy... and I can easily see where you brightened the fireworks (there's a circle around the burst, and a box around the ones on the left).

Would otherwise be a pretty night shot; perhaps a noise reduction beforehand would have helped?
