It's amazing to me that others would think yours should have been the red versus the blue. Hands down this is the best! Beautifully done. |

Congratulations on winning. A wonderful image and I find your write-up on how you took the photo with your hand in front of the lens very useful. Thank you for that. |

I can't believe people are telling you that 2nd place is better than yours.
It may be the case and it may not.
Everyone has their opinions and are entitled to air them.
I just think it's bad manners to do so like that.
Anyway, excellent shot and congratulations.

I reckon this is a good photo but not as good as the "second place" winner.

Guess congratulations are in order, even though for me personally I think the order of ribbons should be reversed in this challenge but that´s also saying a lot, I don´t give out many 8 scores and I still think this is ribbon worthy :) |

Almost preternaturally crisp. I had a feeling this would do well, though I expected the yellow ribbon to actually be the winner over the both of us. Congrats on blue! |

This is a pretty good shot, well exposed fireworks and interesting backround. Only to nitpick, the building that is "peeping" into the shot in the lower left corner I could do without. One of the best in the challenge, 8 from me. |

Nice composition, and restrained use of colour. Setting the black level high enough to eliminate any detail other than sources of light works well. And I like the way you've matched the frame with the colour of the star bursts - nice touch. |

Lovely! Possibly would have skipped on the blue border but very nice work. Back to bump youup to 8. |

IMO the border really detracts from this shot. |

GREAT SHOT - Only gripe would be the effect of the white bridge making it look like a sloping horizon. Still does not effect my score for this great image - 9 |

Can't decide if I'd prefer the border in the orangeish color in the center of the bursts. But anyway, even if I did prefer that, it's so much of a nitpick. This is a beautiful image. |

And that folks, is a photo of fireworks, just the way it should be done. Loads of color, definition, and crispy focus. Beautiful job. The light is often so bright that a lot of fireworks go "hot" in photos, but these are saturated with rich color. Nice editing work. Small "dead" spot in the top left but that's all part of shooting fireworks. Like the framing as well. 9 |

Nice image, it's sharp and colorful. I would have cloned or cropped out the one bright light at the bottom and two to the left, it distracts a little. Maybe a little less contrast would help also. Otherwise good image, 7 from me. Happy new year and good luck! |

AMAZING! the thin blue border is a perfect match for the colors of the fireworks. amazing timing, since with this many fireworks going off at once it is likely there were only a few moments in the entire show where something like this was possible, and you luckily caught it!!! (BTW, i'm biased towards images with beautiful representation of the color blue, but regardless this is a great image!) |
