Love that last one! The silhouettes make this exceptional!

i agree with flo... the last one is very good... i would crop the lower part maybe 50%.

that last one is a bomb!!! yeah, crop off a bit of the black area on the bottom and frame it!!

Thanks Flo, ADAPTE, & Howzitboy--

Here's a couple more I took at a winefest on the Mosel River along with those above. Enjoy.

I like them all, especially 3 and 5. Did you get any with reflections on the water? I feel like that's what 4 is missing and probably needs to have the water cropped out because I just want the fireworks to be shining right there, but they're not.

Love the silhouette of #3 but I agree with ADAPTE about cropping part of the lower section. It just feels like theres to much open space.

Thanks all. You're all correct about the cropping on #3, of course. Funny what you see--and don't see--in your own work. An objective set of eyes definitely helps! Went with a tighter crop top and bottom.

Nice stuff. The silhouettes are really cool. I've been looking at quite a few fireworks shots lately, and I've found the shots that show an interesting foreground are MUCH better. Shots that simply have the fireworks by themselves are lacking something.
