  Brilliant and electrifying image, Dan!
Love the composition, making the glowing center of the "nova" as attention-grabbing as the fingers!

  AWESOME shot, Dan! Beautiful abstract flower! My fireworks went up in smoke & look less than appealing. Takes real talent to capture those phenominal & illusive art explosions! SUPERB!

  One of the most unusual and unique fireworks images I've seen, Dan. The movement and details make an outstanding abstract!
