Great shots, exposure looks good. That's a nice looking bridge at night.

Nice, but can you fix distortion?

What distortion do you think there is? I've already corrected for the lens in Lightroom.

Look at the buildings near the edges. They are all leaning toward the center of the image due to barrel distortion. The first one isn't too bad since it's not as wide an angle but it's quite noticeable in the others.

Thanks! #3 is mine. It was a bit of a struggle, the last time I shot fireworks, I mostly just shot the fireworks by themselves. This time I was trying to capture the scene of them over Tokyo Bay, and I found that if I exposed for the skyline and the bridge, I was overexposing the fireworks if I tried to keep a 5 second shutter speed. If I lowered my ISO, then I risked overexposing the fireworks with a longer shutter speed if a bunch of them went off during my exposure.

I actually didn't bump saturation in post very much, either, even though it looks oversaturated.
