Mitch,  I loved the composition of your fireworks photos!
Thought you might have gotten a better picture of the band setting up if you 
had been more invisible to them, however, perhaps your pupose was to show how 
much everyone was enjoying the event.(?)   And which of these were panoramic, 
the 
Hilton shot perhaps?  loved the overlapping of images there with 
the largest subject in the background.  Defies the idea that the 
closest subject is the largest subject.  Wouldn't be surprised if 
they bought that one from you.  If I overexpose my ignorance, 
be kind; feeling a little bruised lately from invited abuse.  (in other 
words, I asked for it)  I'm  ok  though.  -  Teri
