Very cool, looks like an explosion, slightly blown at the base, and the focus seams a bit off on the fireworks, Good Luck, 6

Amazing shot, only one thing about it is disturbing ... the building that is blocking the bottom part of the tower. Beautiful.

Very cool, this perspective from a similar height works very well.

I find this shot neither good nor bad, voted a 5 on it. Like that you included the setting, the city but think the fireworks are pretty weak compared to most in the challenge and composition way too centered + that building with the blue roof in the corner draws my attention.

Nice.

This is crying out for the "law of thirds" to be applied - re-cropping to place the towerover to the left. The spread of the fireworks would have supported this beautifully. And it could have used just a tiny bit of straightening.

I can't make up my mind whether the ANZ building in the bottom right is a distraction or not. It would be hard to crop it out without losing too many useful elements, though.

Where was this taken from? I can't think of any building from where you could have taken a shot this high. It looks like Nortcote Point in the background, so maybe somewhere around Albert Park?
