Hi Marlene, I'm new here and certainly no critic, but had to say I particularly like the top B+W photo. I was exposed quite a bit to photography growing up and my father went through a B+W stage. Even though taken at a distance, your top photo comes out beautifully with the silouette of the trees and reflected water in the forground. It feels as though the fireworks are being enjoyed on summer evening from a back porch. Tara
