Nice shots, Jeff!
Thanks Marilynne and Chris. This is my second time to try shooting fireworks. I wanted a more interesting foreground but was too late getting there to get the spot I wanted. It had been raining earlier and was supposed to have thunder storms at the time of the fireworks but ended up only having some lightning off in the distance. I am happy with the actual fireworks but would have like a better foreground.

Very nice shots, but I am wondering if reducing the warmth in colour would produce more colours from the fireworks themselves.
Scott, I don't understand what you are saying to do.

What I am trying to say is that there seems to be too much orange in the images and adding to the bluer side/cooler side of the colour temperature may result in other colours popping out. Easier way to say it is adjust the white balance so its a bit cooler.
I see what you are saying. I just want to say that I value your opinion and welcome any comments that you may offer on my images. Thanks, Jeff

Thanks Jeff, if it is no better than no harm but I think these are great fireworks photos and I want you to showcase them with their full potential. I think with my fireworks and same as my lightning shots I set a determined WB something like cloudy or close to, as lights flash intensity of fireworks can put off the automatic WB.
A couple of pictures from our family outing yesterday. This is at the Institute of Marine Mammals Studies in Gulfport, Ms. First photo is my wife with grandson Noah petting a shark and the second picture is my grandson Christian and granddaughter Naudia with a stingray. We had a great time.
