More experimentation, this time with a zoom blur.

Interesting. Sort of like some of the blurry saturated contrasts you see using the Orton effect. I agree you're headed in an "abstract" direction. I'd be curious as to how it would look with the shadows lifted substantially or even reversed. I like your experiments, Bob!

Beautiful fireworks! I especially like the saturated colors that aren't too aggressive and the dark background.

I like it.

My only misgiving is that it looks very much like the way many things look to me when I have the wrong eyeglasses on (which happens a lot these days.)    :(

I like the result, the warm colour against the dark background works very well.

Thanks Eric and Paulo. (Eric: I feel your pain. I just went through laser 'welding' of my right retina to repair a tear in it. Price of living, I guess.)
