These should be posted in the General Forum unless you wish a critique, if that is the case then I'd suggest you only post 1-2 images and give some sort of explanation.

see at the top where it says 'please leave some comments' that means skimmilk wants them critiqued. I had all ready seen them, therefore did not post a critique.

#1's pretty cool, but I might try for a bit more contrast.
I like #2 too, I think i'd like it better without the person in it.
The colors and reflections are nice in #4.

The others don't do much for me.

the border of the first picture just touches the end of the ship, make it smaller and it will be better,

I like the pics. Next time you shoot fireworks shoot a longer exposure time. A lot more flexibility/lower ISO and some really cool shots. Try it and see what you think.

I would try making a long exp. and I have also read to block out light in between fireworks put a black card infront of the lens.

I would try for fireworks in the background. You look like cardboard because you used flash. You will find this a lot (at least I have). I try to never use flash because I don't like the effect it gives sometimes. I only use a small
flash to fill in shadows. Otherwise I do long exp. and a tripod, or it is outside and I don't need it (except for fill).

Hope this helps! You are always still learning new things. :)
