 Total shoehorn, but I was riding a horse in the Tournament of Roses this morning, so no midnight celebration (or photography) for me. Was smiling when I found at least a few "natural" fireworks in my mother's garden this evening. Taken at dusk with flash fill.

Happy New Year to all.

A little bit of a shoehorn but these flowers do look like fireworks. A bit closer crop to isolate the red flower might have helped here.

A bit of a big stretch for this challenge, but it does indeed look like fireworks.

Very interesting concept. I'd say this is tied for 1st place.

Very creative. I love the idea. Nice colors, perhaps a bit grainy and oversaturated on the bloom.

Good original idea, the light could be better....

This is "Clever", but won't cut it. The whole excersize is to see who can handle the lighting, exposure and timing of the fireworks the best. The combination of the different elements make it quite a challenge. To photgraph a flower is an opt-out of the real issues at play in this challenge.
