My mom and I never went to see the fireworks when she lived there. Too bad. Looks like they do a nice job of it! Great photo - congrats on your ribbon and new personal best!

strong contender for front page imho, and a top10 is very likely
i like the drama in the sky here, that reddish/purple clouded mess is brilliant.
a 7 from me

Really extraordinary in terms of sense of scale. Perhaps too denoised...? Are these guys the fireworks technicians? Or how did they get so close? And I like that the tree appears to be sheltered by the far larger bursts, but worry about it catching fire :)
