Fun! We don't see this part of fireworks photographed very often. I love the colored spotlights, where was this?

Nice capture of light and smoke, I guess its fireworks? Could be sharper imo

I know, there's lots of smoke there. However, it seems very subdued, out of focus and hidden. It is fun to capture, and assumes great shapes, but I'd try to capture it with more lighting - something that has to come from additional fireworks. Although I've taken similar images, I haven't concentrated on this particular type as a study. For ME, I would start with a tripod, multiple shots over 15 minutes, concentrate on focusing, and look for the smoke cloud photo lit up by a mass of spectacular fireworks. Don't know what I'd get, and I do commend you for the effort. (Wordy, aren't I.) Good luck in the challenge.

Too blurry and over/under-exposed in certain areas.

I like the colors, I would have gotten one without the shadow in the background.

The photo certainly gives a feeling of being thankful for the lie down after the suggested surfing experience. One thing that did stand out a little to me was the shadow on the rocks in the background - it also looks like the shadow of an alien peeping at the sleeping surfer. It made me chuckle. I wonder if it would have been better with more sand leading up to the person and have the rocks completely cropped out or else not crop the rocks as much.

Could be closer. Kind of interesting. Lighting is a little harsh.

A bit over exposed by flash. Blue background works nicely.
