Funny, I didn't think this would go over well. I put it in to the texture side challenge and within a tremendously short time I got three favorites. So I hid it and saved it for the entire month (taken on the first day of November).
I'm so very glad I did that. Got me a new personal best and my very first 6+.

Oops - I managed not to come back after the challenge until now. Congrats BIGTIME on your new personal best, Jeanne! :) It's truly a beautiful shot and very different from the usual flower image. Now share the learning with everyone else and post the original and how you edited it. :)
Wow, what a wonderful shot and excellent placement in this Free Study challenge. Congratulations on a great score and your new PB. I love the colors, DOF, and focus. It really does look like beautiful fireworks.
Congrats on this! I was one of your 2 10's. I meant to come back and comment during the challenge but didn't get a chance. This has excellent colors and is beautiful overall!
So I'm drifting around Team Suck thread and I notice your thumbnail and click it, and notice this nice flower with a good DOF. The coffee is low so off to the kitchen, as I come back I notice the fireworks in the shot. 2 pictures in one, now that’s a great capture..
great vision to see this, it really looks like a firework and makes me want to look at it some more, which for a flower shot and my own personal tastes say alot. :) An excellent FS image! 9
