Here's my stab at it.

Spectacular!!

It must have been a great night. I bet this shot would be a great poster on the wall. Thanks for sharing and all the fireworks advice.

I wouldn't call it a great night. Got there at 3, waited six hours in the heat, and then the food stand ran out of Churros.

I am really happy with this shot though.

ah cool, very cool shot, great exposure. were you using a tripod for this? I took a different approach at it, and framed only the fireworks.

it has the illusion of tilting to the right, its kind of odd, i dont know how it would look rotated a SLIGHT bit and then reframed. Its a cool illusion though, what a fantastic shot! I bet the sound from that series of fireworks was amazing(and loud)!

I'd like to take pictures of fireworks from space. imagine what those guys at the space station were seeing

Sphere,

The tilt is due to correcting for the horizon. If I left the buildings vertical, the horizon would look way off because the shore pointed away from us at an angle. To correct for that appearance I had to sacrifice the buildings tilting a slight bit. I am planning to fix that when I have some more time, but it will have to stay for now.
