Oh dear! And there I thought all my hard work in PP would be in vain! Had a lot of smoke in the background, which was removed! Thanks for the nod, I am honored, amid some fantastic images, and had also expected a lot more entries, given that fireworks are ever so popular these days. I'll have a new challenge up later in the day, just got some admin stuff to do before I devote time to hobbies. Thanks Michael, for the challenge, CC's and judging exercise. And you'r right about the square crop, had not even thought about that, but will receive due attention. Thanks so much!

A nice variety of fireworks so here are my thoughts:
Sydney Harbour: Slightly abstract shot, this one, it looks like it was taken hand held giving the interesting effect, the smooth reflection adds to the effect. Nice
Guy Fawkes Night: Another slightly different shot, lots of smoke with just a few nice starbursts. It;s a shame the starbursts on the right are just clipped, obviously we can't foresee where they'll happen though, i do like the atmosphere in this shot.
The joker: A lovely pattern to this one and i can see why you've given it the title. It looks a little out of focus though.
Starburst: Lovely pattern and colour, it's not easy to know when these bursts will happen and this is pin sharp too
Fireworx: This one has real impact, i've caught this type of firework before but never as good as this shot, the perfect shutter speed has caught the trails nicely at just the right moment. Being picky i would have cropped it to a square format but that's being really picky.
So that's it and I've chosen:
1st...Fireworx by Noelcmn
and the others equal 2nd as they all have their own unique quality
Sorry for the rather brief comments but I'm doing this at 5am before I leave for a flight to Prague
