Please take the time to look at some of my other work: Here are some of my best in a SLIDESHOW Or, for a quick glance, try the thumbnails of some great pics of mine.
4th of July fireworks at the St. Louis Arch.
NO changes in saturation, levels or contrast. It is a layered
composite of about 6 photos. I "cut out" parts - like the
black area to the left - that were too bright to allow two other pics
to show through. . .

I particularly like the spikey fringes of the black area on the left. No fireworks on 4th July this side of the pond, though...
Dinnovation (72 months ago | reply)
Wow, how do you capture them? They look like dandelion clocks.

Very nice. I love the colors and shapes. Did you oversaturate this?

Very nice at first glance, but all the layers make it a bit odd afterwards, especially the cut out zone, all that "stringy black" kills it for me.

@ RuiPereira & My Daily Struggle
YOU try to take a photo of a black hole, and see how tough it is.!!!
=^D
I actually extracted the "blown whites", so now I get beat up for "blown, spiky blacks"
I should have known . .

Got a bit of that dandelion gone to seed look, especially off to the left. Kind of a good representation of why some dandelion photos inspire thoughts of fireworks on the other end of the spectrum.
