Taken during a happy moment when I didn't know about the challenge. I keep playing with this type of shot whenever I have the time...but I don't seem to remember how I achieve the ones I like. It's a mystery to me.

I wonder about the composition and color. Fireworks shots are pretty to me but they never seem to convey "being there"...

Like it. The monochromatic makes it less of a cliche fireworks image.

Excellent capture! The greeninsh white glitter and the orange streaks are great additions to the focus of the gold palm tree.
