Fireworks - St. Louis

Fireworks - St. Louis by Creativity+ Timothy K Hamilton.
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...

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.
