Thank you, Kate, Debra, The Judges and Bryan! No, I didn't do anything to the image except zoom while taking the shot. I had my tripod with me, but I have many normal looking fireworks shots that I decided to remove the camera from the tripod and try something different. #1625299KHAWLA Haddad July 23, 2005
