Hi Tonya,
Welcome to the Critique Zone! Health warning: everything I have to say is completely subjective...
Fireworks shots are really hard to take - I know, I've tried and I'm no expert, so congratulations on getting this one nailed. Getting the firework shot while still making everything else look good is even harder.
Technically
This is slightly soft - hard to fix in camera so perhaps some PP sharpening to make it pop more? It may also be worth trying to see what happens if you use a tripod and longer exposure (and lower ISO to compensate)
Artistically
There is a lot going on in this shot - between the trees, the second firework and the cable bottom right, the eye is drawn all over the place which does detract from the focus. Difficult to know where the firework is going to off, so one way around this is to take a reasonably wide area and then crop down tight on the bit you want to focus on later - totally possible with the number of Mega Px in a 60D!
This shot looks like a great learning experience - I hope you enjoyed taking it. If you get good at firework shots, let me know and I'll come pestering you for 'how to' advice!
Cheers,
Frank. |
