Very nice photo and very creative presentation. Great composition with good clarity and lighting. I love the dark background and fireworks. Great initial impact as well. Great job putting this together. Good luck in the contest.

Excellent technical "know-how". Great composition. Like the ornament on the side. Great effect of the couple moving from the left toward the right - toward the fireworks. The lit up circle beneath their feet draws further attention to them.The lighting is super. Best of Luck in the contest !!

Comment from Lucien van Oosten


I like the concept and the elements in this card.
However; there several thing to me that would have made it even more effective would have been to make the fireworks a little smaller, as is it is in too much direct competition with the dancers.
I am also thinking that the integrate corner boarder would also have been nice repeated on the upper left corner, kind of bonding the scene a little more.


I think the font and its colors scheme are perfect and fits the image very nicely.

Happy New Year... Cheers!!!

    Thank you so very much for the lovely review Lucien. I have read your comments with interest, and think all your suggestions are valid. I can clearly see now, that the firework could have been less dominant. Happy New Year to you as well.
