      Thanks Sakura & Monika :) I was surprised how many "keep" shots I was able to get but this one just stands out from the rest. I won't forget this new years in a hurry, was simply beautiful.

      cheers,

      This is stunning - i loved it when i first saw it and it doesnt change - Just damn awesome work.

    6. Monika N. (78 months ago | reply)

      I agree to the above. I had to come back and look at it again.
      Your other pictures are amazing, too, Mr Magoo.

      Thankyou Monika for your kind words. I enjoy being able to share my photographs and being able to apprecate the work that other people produce. I love your "waterworld" image - fantastic! :)

      Nicely done

      unexpectantly, i like this, 8/10

    14. ACreepingMalaise (77 months ago | reply)

      Great shot, I can't seem to get a look at the larger version. (damn network)

      I am looking hard to find a problem with it, I would like to say that fireworks are "over photographed", but the angle here is so nice that I don't think I can say that.

      I want to deduct a piont for something, Damn you and your perfect shot, but I can't bring my self to do it.

      10/10

      enjoy it, I don't give out a lot of those.

      Thanks for the score, Acreepingmalaise - I'm stoked I got a couple of 10's, much appreciated.

    17. ACreepingMalaise (77 months ago | reply)

      I finaly got to look at the larger versions, and the 10 still holds.

      Good work.

    18. Extra Medium (75 months ago | reply)

      really cool shot.

    19. Jesse Varner (74 months ago | reply)

      Great work! One of the more unique fireworks shots I've seen. It really captures the 3-dimensional quality of the fireworks display.

    20. ephemerion (74 months ago | reply)

      An interesting angle on Fireworks, the vantage point makes it appear more like strange flowers. Exposure seems nicely done, and you've composed it nicely. Good work

      WOW.

      How on earth did you get this angle? Which building were you in?

      Great angle, great subject, great exposure - even the secondary subject of the freeway is awesome.

      Obviously not handheld!!!! Fireworks, I have found are very difficult to capture, you have done an excellent job here, especially like the traffic streaks, kinda like fireworks of a different kind.

      Kudos.

      Ooooh, so close, nevertheless,

      Congratulations!

      Ditching the highest and lowest score you get a total of 34 out of 35 in the MiRea's Realm Group.

      Thanks to everyone who checked it out - it's one photo I don't think I'd be able to repeat.. was worth the effort!

      Gorgeous photo. The shade of pink reflected in the water is increible just like the shot.

      Your efforts paid off,this is a beautiful shot of the fireworks.Very nice!

    36. pavelm (71 months ago | reply)

      Just a big WOW!

    37. torontofotobug (68 months ago | reply)

      Wow, impressive. You get some great mileage out of your 30D. I just started shooting Canon this past spring and I love it. You're an inspiration.

    38. Mr Magoo ICU (68 months ago | reply)

      This was actually before I purchased my 30D - this is the 300D I had beforehand. 6.3mp doesn't allow me to blow it up so big in print size but its still one of my favourite shots. Thanks torontofb - your comments are much appreciated.

      Camera: Canon EOS 300D Digital
      Exposure: 4 sec (4)
      Aperture: f/25
      Focal Length: 30 mm

      Please come and join us at www.flickr.com/groups/fireworkexcellence

      I have decided there is a need for a place to display Top quality firework photographs

      This group will be by invitation only, all photographs will be screened by the Administators to ensure only the best shots make it into the pool.

      There are thousands of Pyro shots on flickr which unfortunately swamp the really good material so it is our mission to make this a place of Excellence in Pyrotechnics
