Finally got some fireworks shots I'm happy with!

Hey all, I wanted to share a few images from Thursday evening. I've been a huge fan of fireworks shows since I was a kid, but I've never been able to get images I was really happy with. All my previous work was either technically poor, or was lacking compositional elements to give it any interest.

In preparation for this year, I studied up and tried some new post techniques to make things pop. I'd love some feedback if you have any. Fireworks shots are dime a dozen, so hopefully these stand out...

Nicely captured!

I like #1 but to me #3 is the best because you are showing the crowd and the stage and it has the digital flag on the screen. Nicely done.

Love 3, the crowd gives a better feel of scale. Well done
