Wow, I really like this! But I have a question: where are the fireworks coming from? :P

Coltranized, the fireworks come from somewhere beyond the lighted marina in front of the city.

Really well done

Well done

Good job, and congratulations on making great use of your new tablet! The fireworks could use a little bit more glow by adding a few hot spots with the dodge tool, and or by adding a simple filter or layers style (inner or outer glow) to give it a nice warm feeling for fireworks. Other than that, great piece! Good luck!

i dont think you should add the star brush. i think it throughs it off, but great job.

excellent work !!

I agree. Very nicely done, but the star brush is kind out of place here, does not fit the style of your rest image.

awesome entry

Thanks for your comments , voila a without stars version. Happy 2010

Very nice entry! (This is completely up to your better judgement, and you don't have to change anything if you don't want to.) Heres a couple of minor suggestions, or things you can experiment with: There could be a little bit more glow to the fireworks if thin lines, or hotspots with the dodge tool was introduced into the falling firework streaks of color, along with a slight blur, just to give it a fuller and slightly softer look. Anyway, good job! You have yourself an excellent entry! Good luck!

Beautiful

I thought you did a pretty good job myself.

COngratulations for the 4th place!
