Almost added "Very, very frightening me!" to the title. ;-Þ

There was a huge thunderstorm over the city an hour and a half before the fireworks were due to start. It moved away eventually, and the firework show started 25 minutes late. There was always lightning about, and it started raining again just before the end of the show. This was my second shot that had lightning in it.

Great capture. That had to be scary, esp for the guys launching the fireworks.

This is a wonderful shot. I think it should have scored much higher.

Really neat combination, but it looks over-processed / denoised.
