I like the capture of the straight lines in fireworks.

Ah, Disney, it's been a long time since I did that trip. Good colors, the crop feels a little tight to me, like it doesn't quite capture the grand scale of things there.

Great image. Nice capture.

Cool shot!

It sure is difficult among the throngs at Disney. You did a good on the exposure, but I'd probably crop some off the bottom.

lots of Pixie dust here isn't there...very good shot not easy with so many people bumping all around you

Nice shot of Disney... though the crowds are unfortunate.

Foreground is too dark. Maybe you could try a different crop. The castle feels tilted to the right.

take care , brano

Well captured and presented. Strong composition!

Good shot. Like the mauve hues on the building and the outlines of the people watching.

Beautiful. Love the subtle foreground details and also great DOF.

More crop on the bottom. Magical. Poster quality.

such a magical place, and i think you've captured some of that magic
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 05:13:15 AM
Joyful memories...
 03/14/2009 09:52:38 PM
ok capture , a little too much of a snapshot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 09:03:43 PM
Great colors. Crop feels alittle narrow to me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 08:45:35 PM
Looks like a wonderful evening!
 03/14/2009 01:30:17 PM
Nice light and smoke trails, pretty!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 07:42:03 AM
Nice light on the castle and I like how we can see the outlines of the people in the foreground but they don't detract from the main subject. It looks like this needs straightening? But it could be my eyes!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 03:31:14 PM
The composition could be a little stronger.
 03/13/2009 10:18:04 AM
Fun shot. Good action.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I thought it was the scene from Battlestar Galactica, where the Cylons bomb Caprica. Good thing I paused to read the title. Silly me! I should have recognized this as Micky Mouse special effects.
 03/13/2009 07:20:46 AM
wow, this is beautiful
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 06:39:56 AM
Oh how cool! That had to be so much fun!

I would have liked this better with some of the people at the bottom cropped out, and it would be nice to see more of the fireworks at the top.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 11:04:45 PM
not to bad but wider image might have looked better
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 05:00:24 PM
Has a slight tilt to the right.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 03:49:33 PM
Great shot!
 03/12/2009 11:43:15 AM
a tighter crop from the bottom would work better in my opinion
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 10:36:23 AM
Happy shot!
 03/12/2009 09:36:59 AM
Really nice, I would have prefered a different POV where the castle is at the bottom (without the heads) and the fireworks could be seen complete.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 09:10:53 AM
Good capture. The light from the guy's camera screen in front of you is a little distracting among the dark silhouettes. A little clone out would go a long ways. Very nice clarity though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 08:26:12 AM
Nice capture under difficult lighting situations. Good DOF... feels a little tilted...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 08:01:34 AM
Fun capture. The smoke stream really draw the eye up, and the castle colors are great. By cropping out more of the dark, blurred bottom, this would have been stronger.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 06:04:13 AM
Who doesn't love Disney World?
 03/11/2009 08:02:20 PM
love the colors. Maybe a little less heads in it. 7

Hey, I'll be listening to these in about 60 minutes. Well done with regards to the exposure of the castle.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 07:21:32 PM
I like the prespective, behind the crowd.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 05:59:59 PM
One of my favorite moments - the castle and fireworks. Nicely captured. Maybe could use a bit of straightening.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 03:29:52 PM
I love the colors of the castle. I probably would have cropped some of the people out because they seem a little distracting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:13:52 AM
nice fireworks
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 05:29:49 AM
Very pretty and it does look like a very happy place!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 02:40:50 AM
I feel the overall effect of this image is too dark. There is too much darkness in the foreground and perhaps the image would have benefited from cropping the foreground. Good luck: 5

i dont like the bottom zone of the picture with the people 6

Reminds me of watching the world of Disney as a child
