I was disgusted with myself when I started shooting the fireworks display with a lens that was too long. When I edited the shoot, I found this composition kind of interesting.

I agree, it is interesting! Different than the usual fireworks shot in that the fireworks display is more a frame to the rest of the image than the dominate part of the image. The comp works well with the fireworks on the left top side, balanced out by the bridge, boats, lights on the right bottom side. Nice lighting on the scene; love the starbursts on the lights. Great "mistake", Robert!

It IS interesting. And beautiful. I think the fact that you caught the light shooting-up part (the "trunk" of the "tree" in the fireworks shape) is what makes it. Well, that and your gorgeous exposure and composition of the other elements in the frame. Well done. I like this a lot.

Cool shot Robert. It is a nice composition and an interesting shot of the waterfront and bridge.

It works well for me Robert, I really don't know what your complaint is
I like it for many of the same reasons others have stated - Cool shot
