Very well done. This may be the winner this week, in my opinion. Excellent capture of a very difficult subject, and I like the way the city sprawls in the background. It's almost cropped too tight on the right, but not enough to detract from the score. 10.
Cool shot, but it appears to be crooked. Since I don't know the area where this was shot, perhaps it really does lie at the slight angle I see in the shot. However, without that knowledge, I'd say this needs to be rotated a few degrees clockwise. This would also make it look as if the fireworks were going straight up into the air before bursting.
Very nice work! I would love to have done fireworks myself but there were none happening in my city during the challenge week. You are lucky to have been able to capture this shot :) Good work! This is one of my favorites this week = 10 - jmsetzler
Incredible photo! I can't wait for the Fourth. 9 (dock one because IMO it doesn't portray city life). **Brumos in BC? I assume most people on this site are from the U.S. and associate fireworks with a national holiday (4th of July and Chinese New Year). It may have helped with the dating questions and inferred lack of association with city life had your title had been a bit more explanitory.** Hindsight's 20-20. You'll have to forgive those of us Americans who are unworldly...we're 'educated' to be so (embarassing, but true). Your submission deserves to do well regardless** If this isn't Brumos, please ignore my **message** ; D
Wow, great angle for this shot. Were in some kind of tall building? Very steady, how many seconds? This is just great. I like incorporating the launch site, but out of curiousity, did you try a landscape shot above the city line (just fireworks)? Photo 10 City 9 total 10
I've always had problems shooting fireworks and can't wait to see the technicals on this shot. Horizon is a bit sloped. At first I was going to say it missed topic a bit, but decided 'city life' is an open question with many interputations. Nice shot!
