Hello from the Critique Club.
I actually commented on this shot after voting, it connected with me in some manner.
Your shot definitely met the challenge and the fireworks are wonderful. The people filling the scene added interest for me - I always love looking at what people are wearing, how they are standing, what type of interactions are going on, etc. So your shot gave me plenty of opportunity to hang around looking at your picture and thinking about what was going on. If getting people to stay longer with your shot is a goal, you had success with me.
I agree with a couple of the other commenters that the blurry/moving building is a bit distracting. Cropping out the largest building would have eliminated some of the awesome people and that cool blue chair, but possibly would have made for a stronger entry. The voting crew here seem to be sticklers on things being in focus (unless it's for an artsy, abstract type image) but I think you did quite well in the challenge for a tough night shot without a tripod.
Keep up the interesting work.
