Default Sparkler in Action.

Would be interested to hear what people think of this shot and how it could be improved in post production.

hi! i like this shot! the details are sharp...i wouldn't dare try to get this close with my PNS...

i'm also a noob but i like fireworks with brighter colors...i mean, maybe you could adjust the sparks to be a bit brighter? or orange-er? just my thought...but i'm no expert...

Hello Mark,

It's a great shot, and there are several ways to go, but using katmd's suggestion, I increased the saturation and contrast, I also added a black border - have fun playing with it!
