Fireworks behind our house. Caught the crew setting off the fireworks through the trees. The colors and the smoke added a unique abstract look to the explosive activity (actually the grand finale) going on behind the silhouetted trees.

In Elements: Cropped several times to get the scene; slightly adjusted color saturation; adjusted the levels; unsharpened mask by 95%, radius 2, threshold 1; sized for web.

I get the idea, but it is unfortunate that the fireworks seem to be the subject and not the silhouette of the trees.

The fireworks are awsome but I feel that they are the center of interest and not the silhouttes. Perhaps if there had been a more interesting subject as the silhoutte you would have convinced me to vote a bit higher, But the Fireworks and the silhoutte work are just great. I also love the title. So giving this a bad score is just not an option. Great job!

Focus on the branches and leaves appears soft. The lighting is definately dramatic and the colors fit your humorous title. 5

silhouettes are not really the focal point here. trees are a bit blurry and need focus or sharpening.
