ooohhh damn, i have no word to say, great perfeckt love it.

I agree with your assessment; I much prefer yesterday's image, this toning just doesn't do it for me.

Perfect as usual, same colour as the pier with the sea wall !

I quite like this. The buildings have a ghostly effect to them... it all looks slightly ominous. Well, ominous as it can be while fireworks are flying! Yesterdays picture does look good, but it is good to see another side to fireworks - aside from pretty colours.

It's the monochrome color and the ambient light off of the boardwalk that really makes it for me. Very nice.

Beautiful.

A green cast (actually nice here): but I take it that’s right?

Great shot... I like this one a bit better than yesterday's. The contrast, composition, and toning all work well together. I like that you can see the area to the right better too. It makes me wonder where all the people are... a little mystery is good!

This is stunning!! There is so much energy in the sky and yet there's no one on the pier, it looks so strange!

wow. a lot of energy in this shot. the toning makes it look electric. nice work

Funny thing is I prefer this one, I think it's because of teh Duotoning you've applied to this is more in my favour.

I really really really like this.

wowzers! i think i like this one better than yesterday's shot.

Yup, not as good as yesterday's! only because you showed the best one first!

However this is still an awesome shot. Yesterday's and today's are the best firework's pictures I have seen.

Very nice picture, I love it... Nice tone

Both are wonderful and unusual images, each in their respective ways. The toning and cropping on this one suits me just fine. You demonstrate that, with creativity and skill, the same subject can be expressed successfully in any number of ways.

Also, and aside from the enjoyment the image itself brings, there is this...
By turning my fist, thumb-upward, and placing it in front of the screen so that it just covers the walkway I suddenly feel transported--like I'm a kid holding a sparkler. I can almost smell the smoke and feel the shower of little sparks on my forearm. It's a fun little moment I never thought I'd be having today. So, thanks for that also, David!

i dont usually like firework pictures..but this one is brilliant. its nice because there is something in the foreground...

its also almost ironic. fireworks are such happy festive things but this scene looks so deserted and cold.
i like it.

very good! but where is everybody? it's like the fireworks were just...there, and no one saw them. kind of depressing, if you ask me.

i love your last 4 shots, specialy this last 2.

Again the lightpost is cropped, but minor niggles aside, this is a great fireworks shot. Maybe not quite as brilliant as yesterdays but nonetheless. Lovely toning...

You continue to amaze me Dave. I've been following your blog for a long time now, and you just continue to improve on every level. Your shots are better, your post processing is tremendous, and your site is absolutely fabulous. You must be quite the autodidact. Keep it coming - I'm loving it.

great dramatic effect!

Wonderful shot!

Once again, a tremendous image.

I really like this one. The tone gives it a timelessness and the absence of anyone in the shot give it a mysterious quality. Fantastic.

Like the toning here Dave on the shot.

It's not in the same league as yesterdays but its still damn fine :)

waaw a wonderfull capture i was just wondering how long the exposure time was?

this one is just better than the shot yesterday, love the mood

I agree. Yesterday's shot was better mainly because of the geometry of the fireworks. It doesn't have a nice a shape and it seems to big for this picture. What I do like is the light reflected on the pier and the slightly crooked lamp.

another great shot!!!! great coloring...

great toning, a tad unnatural but still nice.....8/10
cr=7/10

Love this even more. Lead in lines are just fabulous. The lamp is cool also, could be London in the 19th Century. Love the boardwalk.

Uao... this shot takes my breathe !!! Beautiful

I like both pictures.
Today's has the edge for me. The monochrome enhances that haunted "something's kicking off in the sky and where has everybody gone?" atmosphere. It's extremely spooky.

Whereas yesterday's is merely just another excellent photograph. ;-)

Hmm. I would have liked this one if I hadn't seen yesterday's. somehow, the crop isn't doing it for me. But the sort of hazy, foggy look of the buildings and the toning makes it very apocolyptic. I like the feeling more than the photo, though it's still a nice one.

Aaahhhh! One of the VERY few non-boring fireworks shots I've seen! Very well done.

Effing Brilliant Dave!!

I love landscape crops and duotones, so this one is my favorite. And if you ever decide to do a slideshow of your fireworks shots, "Your Hand in MIne" by (coincidentally) Explosions In The Sky would be an perfect musical accompaniment...

Wow, I really like that one. The illumination on the peer is very nice. It is a very interesting hue.

Great toning here. Gives it a super-spooky look, alomost like the Silent Hill toning. The only thing that is mildly distracting is the left-most lampost.

I honestly find this one to be the better of the two shots. I think the duotone calms the image down. It really is erie how much action there is for the photo, but still have it be so mysteriously empty.

I prefer this to yesterdays. The green colour and the deserted pier makes it a ghostly image, superb.

I love the buildings in the background.....very nice.

Thanks everyone. I was pleased with this, and yesterday's shot, so it's good to see them being well received.

While I did enjoy yesterday's shot- I prefer this one to it. It's just got a great mysterious feel to it.

Bonsoir,
Simply wonderfull ! Great picture!

I think this is frigging amazing. The blue/green tone is perfect.

Wow, speechless. This is excellent.

For me, this is one of your best shots you have posted in over the last month or so! I love it!

:-) Like the tone

I am blown away by this ne, the processing is superb

it's a real photo??
amazing~~~

out of this world ....

wow - really hard to find words

I love this one. I like the tone better and the light of the fireworks is just perfect.

Fantastic! Such a vintage look. Very nice.

great pic! lovely colours - how did you manage to get in with the crew??!!..........
