Not a good year for fireworks - watching or photographing. This shot is full of noise and out of focus, too. I posted it because I like the noise in the sky. It looks like millions of stars. I liked the tubular effect of the colorful lines of the fireworks. Sometimes a bad one is not as bad as first thought.

This is really cool Kathy! I agree some people might work to get this effect that you have effortlessly achieved! FAV!

[Tunia McClure]

Full of noise might be just the right thing.

[Mikel Skoog]

I like it! It's abstract and you know what it is at the same time. Cool photo Kathy!

Neat image

[Issi Bannerman]

Nice abstract noisy image!

[FBailey]

The noise does look like tiny stars!

[Cazzi]

Your thoughts behind the photo make it absolutely perfect!

[Wylie]

fascinating processing. You must get back to the beach, how can you live without it! :)

[Susan Wakely]

Love how processing can transform a shot.

Interesting, at first I thought it was a bundle of optical fibers.

[GaryW]

Agree, Kathy! Well spoken and nice photo.

@tunia Hope that you liked it too.
@mikelskoog Thank you very much Mikel.
@ziggy77 Thanks Jo
@jamibann Appreciate that Issi.
@fbailey Thanks Felicity.
@serendypyty Thank you so much Cazzi.
@pusspup Thank you Wylie. Life has gotten in the way in the past several years. When I feel safer to go (it's a 5+ hour trip dependent on where I go) and stay a few days I would like to plan a trip.
@wakelys Thank you Susan.
@haskar Yes, it does look like that doesn't it. Thank you.
@thewatersphotos Thanks Gary.

@summerfield Thank you.

This is the kind of shot that I like the challenge of making into something. It's recognizable as fireworks but it has a nice abstract feel to it too.

@olivetreeann Thanks Ann. I just liked it and couldn't let it go.
