We didn't go out New Year's Eve. This was taken from the balcony of our bedroom. It was the first time I've tried to photograph fireworks, and I am very surprised I was able to capture anything.

Interesting, but seems a bit too chaotic and a little noisy/grainy for me.

Fireworks are nice but having seen so many of them I really need something else in the frame to make it work for me, foreground or backround... 5

Nice composition; a bit grainy and soft in places.

Light has been boosted too much, so there is too much noise inside. Otherwise nice.

I'd have liked a longer shutter speed to catch more trails than dots of light.

Nice Try. It doesn't have a big WOW factor
