Taken in Waikiki for the Ala Moana fireworks disply. Tried to capture reflections in the water along with the bursts.. :) Didnt like the cars parked on the opposite side of the Lagoon but not much could be done about that if I wanted a reflection..

Well done. Very good capture of colors (possibly best in challenge). I would have given you an extra point if you had leveled the horizon. And I think another extra point if I could see the whole burst.
A good shot that had potential to be even better. While the water reflection at the bottom is nice, it would have been good not to crop off the top of the firework, IMO, as doing so left the focus torn between the top and bottom of the pic, with neither really dominating - the eye is instead drawn to the dark area in between, trying to decide between them.
Good exposure time. Excellent reflection on water. Definitely one of my top three favourites. could swear I've seen this one somewhere. Good luck, hope to see it way up at the top

Nice image but here, the slanted horizon detracts, and I'd prefer seeing more of the firework itself as it is very beautiful.
