Maybe zoom in or crop to show more detail. Welcome to the board.

Agreed, crop it and concentrate on illumicating the interesting looking pattern of pebbles surrounding your subject, I really like the colours and the few specs of orange in the rising plume of smoke.

Welcome to the forum!

Much to the general wave of the group, I wouldn't crop.

If possible, I'd give it more room...work simplistically. Just having a small glowing light off centred (rule of thirds) with a little light on the pebbles, would work perfect IMO.

Nice shot and welcome to the boards,

I'm with Jared on this crop up to a centimeter off the smoke on the right to off centre the firework and it makes it a better photo. I would prefer more room around the firework.

Nice shot Noah. I like the smoke patterns and the frozen sparks. Care to share the technical details? My fire shots turn out very poorly compared to this.

The white area seems awfully blown out.
