Drawing a complete blank on ideas for this challenge. I'm sure there will be a LOT of firework pics, but I didn't have anything else.
Out of all my shots, every one turned out crappy , but gosh darnit, I wish I could clone out that streak at the bottom, I just know I'm gonna get nagged on for it.
sharpen, contrast, reduce brightness, saturation, border, save for web.

There were a lot of these, and it appears to be a difficult subject to capture. This is one of the better ones. I prefer a bit of context with the firework shot n(eg some foreground or background detail, butthis is well captured
Why did so many choose to submit fireworks for this challenge? This question has haunted me throughout my voting in this challenge, which is why I marked them all down due to unoriginality. 4
What is tha---- ooh, it's a firework.. right? It looks like a dandilion. Beautiful. No shake that I can see.... centered and it does the picture good. I like it
This has teh appearance of being WAY oversharpened. Too bad you couldn't clone out the 'stem' of the firework as it is kind of a distraction to the whole 'circle' concept. I think there are probably better options for a crop with the fireworks. I know you are probably going to be faced with the question 'what makes their firework shot better than mine' since there are so many in this challenge. I think the answer to that might be that the centered comp doesn't really work for this, the appearance of being oversharpened and the lack of bright colors which some of the other do have. The focus does appear to be good, and your background is also good containing no lit up smoke or distracting other elements. ~Heather~
I do believe that this is the best firework picture I've seen this year and deserves a 10. Definately meets challenge, is well focused..even has depth. Very nice job.
