Great first attempt. Number two is my favourite, the explosion of colours is great. TFS.

Wow, those are great! I think the 2nd is my favorite, but it's hard to choose. Any PP on them?

Fabulous shots! You definitely should be proud of them. I've never tried taking firework shots, if my first attempt was a tenth as good as yours I'd be very happy.

Stunning! You did great! Its fun photographing fireworks isn't it? The difficulty is gauging where they are going to explode, right?

Really lovely photos. Thanks for sharing.
