Challenge: Fireworks II (Advanced Editing V*)
Collection: Challenges 2007
Camera: Canon EOS-30D
Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4.0L IS
Location: Wiesbaden, Germany
Date: Jan 1, 2007
Aperture: f/5.6
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/50
Date Uploaded: Jan 1, 2007

 Every man, woman, and child in Germany sets off fireworks on New Year's Eve - even in the rain. I wandered around a bit today and the remnants of the celebration were plentiful in some locations.

Probably DNMC.

Post processing - don't have my notes with me but it's pretty much a crop and some sharpening. No blur was added or subtracted if I recall.

Nice idea. :) I like the three angular sections of this photo, and all the textury stuff crossing those angles in various places. Nice colour... kinda lonely feeling too. Very nice.

Melethis, I'm sorry, I didn't score this very high. I'm afraid it brought that dreadful dead cat photo immediately to my mind, and I was instantly turned off. Not your fault, my dear. It's well done and a good OOB entry.

I loved this photo. It was a nice change from all the flashy lights. The textures of it all are fabulous!

Deb, this is really a nice shot and you should definitely receive the OOBIE for this one. I can almost smell the burnt powder just looking at this.

This is great! A refreshing change from the "normal" shots. And look at that average vote from commenters! :)

Sheeez, why didn't you just go along with all the other lemmings and do the same exact thing. (just a little sarcasm to start the morning out)

I thought this was great and I can't believe it got voted this low. Based on your comments, at least you knew what you were in for. Anyways, you did good, be proud!

That's certainly a different take on the subject of fireworks. Way to be different!

Nice tone and lighting but not what you would expect in a Fireworks challenge, intresting thou Good Luck, 6

Pretty out of the box with this one. Personally I think it works better with a much tighter crop, about half way down the existing shot. 6

Well this certainly stands out and pretty refreshing take on the challenge, gave it a 7, I really like the composition and DOF.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Yes, a differnet direction on the challenge...and a very well done photo to boot. Good composition and use of DOF. Very nice photograph!

An interesting take on the subject. Well executed too; I like the way you have included the ridge of the kerb to provide context.

The narrow DOF looks a little like it was post-processed in...

Very nicely executed -- beautiful texture & tones! << 7 >>

I really like the textures. Not sure the shallow dof was needed since the OOF sections rob the image of the rest of the textures.

had a similar idea; well done, good DOF and color

Unique approach, well executed. Propably too out-of-the-box for many voters, but I rather enjoy the change from the usual. Well done.

I like it. It̢۪s a bold entry and a creative perspective for the challenge. Good narrow depth of field and placement of the subject. 8
