Critique Club Review
Composition/Content: Overall this is a really good photo. The Space needle leans a bit, but you can really get a sense of the size of this display.
Lighting: You did a very good job here. So often these kinds of pictures wind up with burned out fireworks. The time exposure coupled with a wide aperature often leave the pictures with white or very pale firework trails. The reds and blues came out very well.
Background: You might have a bit of extra negative space at the top and sides of the frame, but nothing fatal here.
The smoke adds interest, but at the same time, I would like to see a picture from earlier in the display. I think a cleaner picture might have worked better. As it is, the restaurant is obscured a bit, and unless you knew the Space Needle, (I do), it might not be quite so obvious.
In summary, a straighter Space Needle, a bit tighter cropping to reduce just a little of the extra space, and maybe a bit of the lights at the bottom of the scene, are about all I can add. You've already done a very good job to start with.

| Excellent capture. I love the colors and the trails the fireworks leave. The smoke has a nice effect too. |

While I can't vote, I think this is a great shot. Captures the spirit very well. I might have cropped the bottom & sides just a little more.

| Incredible! How amazing is it that someone was right across the city from you taking virtually the same shot?!! |

| much nicer than the other space needle pic, however, you should have rotated and cropped the image in ps so that it wouldn't seem crooked...otherwise good pic |

Nice scene.
The horizon isn't level and the empty space on top is not really necessary. |

Nice shot! I live in Tacoma and can relate...
There is a bit of a tilt... Must have been the wind :) |

| Cool photo, almost looks like a face of smoke on the space needle. Is it leaning a bit, or is it that my eyes are weary and seeing things at a tilt tonight?? Gave it an 8. |
