Hello Ray,
Wonderfult colours and motion! The contrast between the darkness of the sky and the vibrant streaks of the exploding fireworks is very striking and effective.

Happy 4 of July!

Hi, Ray,

Excellent image. I like especially how the tips of the rays in the upper half of the frame trace gentle and elegant curves.

A nice post for the holiday. Thanks!
