Fire & Celebrate

[See & Wonder]

Happy Saturday to All.

This was my first attempt at capturing fireworks. How does the composition look? Would it be better with no city lights? How can I make the colors crisper?



The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a lightning instant of give-and-take, just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box. ~Henri Cartier Bresson

I think the composition looks nice, I like the reflection. Having city lights in it I think works, it also helps to give a reference point IMO. As far as the colors, well I have yet to attempt fireworks so I will leave that for someone else to comment on. Nice Job.

Thanks Mike. I appreciate your input, being the first time on fireworks it worked better then I had hoped being new to photography. Had fun too,..
