Your "people watching" in many of them is what gives the photo an interesting perspective the way the watchers are lit by the light. And that's part of what I mean about the exploding flashes at a lower level to earth surface than what many of us see in fireworks in our locations. In this shot it seems we're almost eye level with some of the exploding flashes. And without question in many of your photos you use the water reflections very well therefore having a double lighting effect for every flash in the sky. Whatever it is you do it's time after time great stuff. :-) Thank you. ted
