Way to meet the challenge! The very center of the flower seems a little over exposed.

Fireworks over Powerline

Comment by burtct:
There were a lot of these, and it appears to be a difficult subject to capture. I think you overexposed it a little - the powerlines are not that visible in the light

great fireworks shot. I love the powerlines added for perspective, and all the smoke that is lit up.

Hi - I 've been reading over your comments on this beautiful image (one of my "9"s).

Just want to express a different view. I can see you wanted the picture to have the full range of darks and lights, and achieved what you set out to do. Thus creating a beautifully moody, expressive image that would look good on anyone's wall. A little mystery is a GOOD thing, sometimes.

I'll also add that even though most DPCers try really hard to calibrate their monitors, some do see things differently, especially on laptops.

So, keep up the good work.

Comment by totaldis:
good idea, but focus seems bad, little bit of fringing on the edges of the spoon and bowl as well.

The image is a bit small...and the crop isn't working for me...I'd like to see the end of the spoon.
