It's not a genre of photography that I know much about, so I'll simply say that I think they're rather good.
I especially like the first one, and I like the fact that you've included the foreground interest at the bottom of the frame.

These are good, with excellent exposure both of the fireworks and the landscape.

These work for me too and I especially like the foreground interest.

Any chance of letting us have the exposure details? (say of the first one)
I have never done this and would not know where to start.
The first one has my vote. Excellent

Hi Theo
The shots were taken at 1.6s at f8, cloudy white balance, manual focus which was pre-focused on the jetty in daylight. Hope this helps.

Hi Steve
Well done, these are great, not something I've attempted myself. Yes, I agree with the others, the first image just has the edge over the other ones, have you found your niche!!
Best Wishes
Tracey

Hi Steve,
Well done, not an easy subject to take, the first one also has the edge for me but all very good and I can't see how you could improve on them, you have got everything just right.
