Hey, that's not fair you get that many attempts!  :)

I'd suggest including something of interest in the foreground in addition to
the river.  They're nice firework pictures.  But anybody can take nice pics
of fireworks.  They don't have that "ooooh" quality that your latest pics of
the musicians have.  They're just fireworks.

You've had some earlier shots of your quaint town in Christmas.  I remember
one in particular stood out...you had combined ambient and artificial light.
Get some street scenes with artifical lights, and add some fireworks in the
sky, and that would be way cool!
