Great shots!!!! #1 of first set and #2 of second set are my favorite (#2 of second set is my favorite)

[Marko]

Appreciate that AT.

Very nice work, Marko. Remember Blazing Saddles when Hadley Lamar tells his group of minions to "Go do that voodoo that you do so well". Well, if you keep this up it looks like you could become the Bondye of ICM.

(do I remember the last three from a while back?)

These are awesome, Marko. I really love the third one and the first two bridge shots.

[Lorey]

These are remarkable Marko! You have a great talent and skill of photography. 3rd one is first set should be framed.

[Doug L]

Great set! I really like the first shot in the first series, but the standout to me is the second shot in the second set. I love the cool tones of the steel, and how it makes a window frame to the fireworks action. Also impressed how sharp the kids are in the time exposure. The only slight area I might clone is the head on the second figure from the left - he must have moved his head and the light streak seems to go through it. But this is one nice image. I love the overall composition and the body language of the kids - it tells an interesting story.

[Marko]

Really appreciate the comments everyone - thanks so much!

Very cool set, Marko! I like the first one because it fills the frame with so many bursts, but all are really nice and the two with the red sky are amazing !

[Runmonty]

Yes a wonderful set indeed.

From the first set 1 & 3 stand out for me (number 1 reminds me of looks a Goat's beard flower)

I like all of the 2nd set for different reasons. The contrasting colour of the steelwork vs the fireworks really set these off for me.

The new version of photoshop cc has a shake reduction feature if you want to fix the last shot :laughing::clown:. Seriously though, the movement does work well and the shot has the feeling of the sky being on fire.

My fabs are the very very cool 3rd shot in post 1 and the 2nd shot in post 2

[Marko]

really appreciate the comments Jas RM and MA.


The new version of photoshop cc has a shake reduction feature LOL - that was a good one. Maybe if they had a 'shake it up' feature. ;)

A very nice set of firework photos, Marko. Nicely done. Are the last couple a re-shoot of last years or something? The second last one looks VERY familiar. I'll have to go hunting... :)

[Marko]

Thanks Iggy! and yes great memory - last couple were very similar to compositions from years past.

[Hillbillygirl]

Very cool Marko. #4 in the first set and #1 in the second for me please. Beautiful.
