The smoke is distracting in alot of them.

yeah, I didnt make the fireworks so I couldnt control the smoke. The finale was a pain a hell of alot more smoke.

They look pretty good.

But you could have taken notice of the wind direction before the show, right? We offer a lot of pre-shoot help here. For instance:

Post #10: "Good: An unobstructed view of the sky, upwind of the action."

There was like 0 wind that night, that and the fact there really was no other viewing place. Maybe across the river but thats Newark, we avoid Newark around here lol

You should have turned your camera vertical to get the whole thing in the frame. There should be more empty space on the top and bottom and less on the sides on all of them. I like the background sky though.
