Nearly every family in Reykjavik buy fireworks for new year´s eve. I wish I could have a sound with this picture becourse it was amazing. The weather that night was very still and the smoke was like a fog over the city for many hours. 600000 kg of fireworks are blown up between 23.30 - 00.30 at new year´s eve. (population of Iceland is 300.000)

One of the better "firework landscape" shots in this challenge. The smoke haze caught in the street lights works well, as do the whisp of cloud and headlight trails.
Looking forward to seeing how long you exposed this for :-)
I'm not sure if it's the photo that takes my breathe away or the fact that there's so many people in your city that actually light off fireworks all together. If it's the second then you still get many kudos for capturing the act. The cloud rolling in adds a detail of interest. Everyone always shoots for that perfect clean black boring sky. I'm not yet done voting, but this is probably my top pick. I hope others agree.
Looks like a warzone! Shot's too busy tho. Definately shows the exitement of New Years! A crop from the sides would assist in focusing, instead of the eyes darting around the picture. That's what mine are doing anyway...and no, it's not from the partying :) 5
