I like how the sky goes from deep red to pitch black at top. The silhouetted trees and bushes gives the shot a nice base to display the cool fireworks.

Wow. I've taken enough fireworks shots to know that this was not an easy shot to get. The fireworks are sharp, well-layered and interesting and the after-sunset glow in the night sky provides the perfect backdrop. Fantastic.

This is a realy excellent fireworks shot. You captured a very good and well blended group of explosions. Plus, the warm horizon and visible tree-line give the image important context and visual "grounding". Without that grounding, the pretty lights would be lost in a sea of black that would detract from the image.

Great photo! You captured the fireworks on a perfect moment, when they create a most impressive composition. The colors and sharpness are very good as well. I tried to take photos of fireworks myself, and know how hard it is to acheive this quality.
Very well done!

Wow - congratulation - great technic you used here - and of course - you got it the right moment.

I guess your using slow shutter speed.

Excelente composición! Los colores muy oscuros del cielo y la arboleda, en los extremos de la fotografía, balanceados por el atardecer central, logran una escena espectacular.
Felicitaciones!
