All I am doing is making an observation and giving my opinion on the images he has been posting. I would think that someone that claims to have the experience and ability he says he has would produce much better results that what he is showing.I am not saying my images are great and his are bad, the point I was trying to make is that with his so called years of experience at being a professional and making a living at photography that the pictures he has been showing don't seem to reflect all the experience he has. I have never claimed to be a professional or have award winning pictures like he says he has. I do photography as a hobby and find it hard to believe that a professional that has put out a video last year and this year on how to shoot fireworks would come back and say that he didn't know what to expect and use that as an excuse for failing to get good pictures.As far as me being arrogant, I think anyone that knows me or has ever talked with me would disagree with that statement. All I said was that I came back with some images that I liked. For me as a non professional and  this being only the second time I have ever tried taking fireworks pictures I was happy with my results. I was comparing his experience to his results and my  level of experience to what I managed to get.I looked back and saw where I did say that I thought mine were much better that I posted in my "Grandpaw" thread than the ones he posted. I will stand by that statement. I didn't say I was a better photographer, just that I thought the images I posted were better than the ones he posted in the video where he said he failed.</blockquote>
