My first time capturing fireworks...
I knew it's not perfect, however, It helps me learning for the coming New Year's Firework.

In fact, i was very lucky, i was there and i didn't know that there will be fireworks. Then, suddenly it came out, i just didn't know what to do and what to set with my camera...

Also, it was very short fireworks and it was a little raining at the time as well :(

really good original picture! good timing and composition.

things i've done:
.i have cloned out small things that were "in the way"
.then i lit up parts of the image that were a bit dark
.then i adjusted the colours slightly
.cropped a little to move the opera house away from the centre of the image

i miss sydney :')

Not much done here. I simply wanted to crop out some of the darkness on the left, and a little bit of the water without losing too much of that beautiful red reflection. And just a quick sharpen.

I hope you don't mind.
