Nice shot! Do you usually find when you're shooting fireworks that you're only able to keep the first few? After that there's too much smoke and it seems to ruin the clarity. What do you think?

Looking through your images and the amount of ribbons you have received, I had expected to see a lot more ribbons. It is a real shame the dpc has such a tight expectation of what makes a good image. Adding you as a favorite photographer.

Well like this better than the first place ribbon, more original approach and probably would have added it to my faves if the firework itself were more detailed and wasn´t so blown but congrat´s on the ribbon, I think all three images deserved them, just think the order was reversed accidentally somehow :)
Post actions
go bear go .... cracking shot
Post actions
This is a 10/10 image! Beautifully and uniquely captured, bro.
Post actions
WTG! Not a bad way to start off the new year.
Post actions
congrats on a great start of the new 2007 year! cheers!
Post actions
Very stunning image and deserving of ribbon. I do think your tone mapping and editing could of focused on a contrast of many various hues instead of a couple. Congrats !
Post actions
The Bear! :) Outstanding shot! Congrats, my friend!

The colors in this photo are beautiful, and the trail of light before the burst and the reflection just make this whole shot eye candy. 10.

Very nice image, good use of the reflection, maybe it could be even better if you would have been closer to the water/sea, the houses there help a lot, well done. 8 from me, happy new year and good luck.

Love the reflection, the colors are a bit red for my taste though ;)
Post actions
Wow! The houses on the far shore look like a painting. And I like the reflection. But it also looks like a hell of a lot of pp here. A bit like Tammy Faye Baker's make up.
Post actions
wow! the buildings on the side add a real nice touch...wonderful, good luck with this 9
Post actions
This is beautiful. It almost looks like a painting. The landscape of houses on the water. I know this was a quick challenge and you may not have had the luxury of time to perfect the processing. The far right side of the image has a lot of chatter and It may have helped this to smooth it out some. It’s still a stunning entry and one of my favorites of the challenge so far.

This should be the blue. Outstanding photo. 10 without question.
