    I like the first one. Seems to fit the theme well.

    Dave,

    Both shots are clean and crisp.
    I like #1 and might title it

    The loss of figures in the 2nd seems to be distracting, but the boat sure in clear.

    Thanks guys.

    I was thinking of "Ejection Seat" for the title of the first shot.

    Well, I was all set to enter #1, but I went and shot some fireworks the other night.

    I'm partial to the color version of the fireworks. Beautiful!

    It's a tough call between #1 and #3. #2 is kind of neat because I've never seen a B&W fireworks shot before. But I think that kind of photo begs for color, though.

    What I like about #1 is that it's unique and at this time there are no other similar entries. It also has a nice element of humor to it, IMO.

    What I like about #3 are the colors and the stunning clarity of the shot. That one's a wall-hanger.

    Thanks.

    I like the color shot also, but I think at the small size it loses something that the B&W conveys. With the gradients of color, I think the shot looks a little muddy. In B&W those gradients are more or less gone, and to me the shot looks much sharper.

    But so far, I think the "Ejection Seat" is still going to be entered.

    I think there are going to be some fireworks shots that will blow mine away.

    Thanks again.
