What To Do w/Fireworks?

Like so many others, fireworks wound up in front of my lens last week. And I went to the ballpark where Cylo-The-Cow convorted at Clipper Stadium. So I took a bunch of pictures that day. Here are about six of them.

Not doing it for me. The fireworks are great! But the collaged fan and mascot have to go — or at the very least, be retouched better into the shot. Colors are off and too dark and the whole compilation feels forced. I'm sorry.

I think that is very creative and done very well. You should see if the stadium will buy it from you. I bet they would like it too.

Heyyyy.... Love the range of reaction to this image - and I reeeeeeely thank both of you. Um, well I like Stefan more that Seesponge... but that's just me...

Seriously... I didn't want the collage to appear "real". Nothing about this thing is real to me. I like it that the kid and the mascot and the fireworks are all exploding in their own worlds of action and blur and bleed-through. I want it to be as glitzy, blinding, and running-together as ... as... a an action packed night of fireworks!

But I'll betcha for every one of my likes there are folks who will have their dis-likes. That's the thing about art, eh? It can.. .um... burst!

A secret... this image was fun to do. Hope that shows.

Thanks for sharing,
