Taken July 4th 2005 with my family at a local fireworks display; I don't expect much in the way of votes on this but I was playing around with shutter speeds and this one turned out the best.
I wanted to try another setup shot like the one I did for metal but I just didn't have time and my wife thought this would make a good submission so I went for it. I really had fun taking this photo the fireworks display was amazing!

Thanks for all the great comments and feed back. I know there were a number of fireworks shot in this challenge and I feel that it hurt my chances for a better score. Overall I'm happy with the outcome seeing this is only the second time I've entered any type of photo contest! It was still a lot of fun to shoot and I’m looking forward to the next challenge!
For this contest everyone who has the word “circle” in their title is getting a lower score. This is a copy and paste version that I am including in every photo that I downgrade due to the title. We as members of DPchallenge know the topic of the challenge – we do not need to reread the topic every time we reach a photo. If circle is in the title and it is appropriate I will most likely not down grade, but it better be good. I am sorry if you do not agree with my method of protest – but scores are all I have.
Beautiful fireworks shot. I'm very impressed. Nice focus and clarity. I like the red glow on the smoke and/or clouds. Good job...I hope you are scoring well in this challenge.
