Macau Fireworks 1, a photo from Macau, Sud

Photographer's Note

Fireworks festival in Macau, taken from Penha Hill.
To measure the exposure, I took basic reading from the lights on the building that surrounds Macau Tower (338 metres). Then, I decided to use f/8 and adjusted the shutter speed. I bracketed from 4 sec till 1/2 sec and found that 1 sec exposure time was the best combination with f/8. White balance was set to fluorescent to get correct color.

Hi Kristupa
With 144 hit to this image, I found it's hard to believe that nobody would want to leave a single little green creature to it. Why!!!!
Personally, I found this image pretty good handled. The framing of it alone are pretty outstanding, the brightly litted brigde on the right, the slim tower in the middle and the fireworks display at the left. The exposure is good, too.
And technically, you have used the correct value for your aperture, f/8, which will give sharpness to overall image.
Probably the night sky did not allowed you to captured som night cloud which will make this image more dramatic, isn't it.
