They look good!  Fireworks seem to be an idea subject for hyperstereo.

Is it just me, or do they also work equally well in pseudo?  I tried
viewing both parallel and crossed, and there was great depth both ways.
Interesting.

Yes, I think that would help considerably.

Alas, the tradeoff of resolution for file size reduction is an annoying
reality, I'm afraid.  It's purportedly a fact that most web surfers
dislike waiting for long downloads, so you're probably better off with
the medium sized images (the small ones were too small to do them
justice).
