    Fireworks OOTB style, er, just a little contrast, detail & toning. (the little black dots are ashes)

    Thanks for looking. Happy Independence Day!

    Cheers,

    Awesome with the deep reds! Very much an outer space looking image, maybe something from Mars, the Red Planet. Great mix of tiny highlights, subtle steaks and the darker shapes. Nice to have one highlight just a bit bigger and brighter than all the others, for a main viewing point.

    I love the red! Wish the fireworks were larger and more numerous.

    Michael, it does look like something from the Hubble - I love the reds and the sprinkling of "stars".

    Very cool Michael, I love the different look at the fireworks display. It's ironic that I was just reading a bunch of helpful hints about taking pictures of fireworks, and many of them include standing upwind of the smoke so it doesn't obscure the image. I was thinking when I was reading that "this would be a good rule to break". Good job!
