•  Support When you look at photos of fireworks, most of the time you never feel a need to look at them on hi res. Often, camera shake or noise completely destroy the 'proper', full resolution version of the image. Alternatively, the technical qualities might be good if the author used a good, sturdy tripod, but the composition might be completely out of place if he did not exactly know where the fireworks were destined to go to. This image, surprisingly, is excellent from a both technical and compositional standpoint. It is probably the best, if not one of the best, images of fireworks on Commons. It has value, as it clearly illustrates something - fireworks at a festival. I also believe that wow-wise, this image bears quite a bit of what I call 'technical wow' - an amazing technical quality given the difficulty of taking the shot. And for all of those reasons, I firmly believe that this image is FP material. --Freedom to share 19:54, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

•  Oppose The image looks rather boring to me. IMO it would have looked much better with the scenery seen like for example this one--Mbz1 20:20, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose Agree with Mbz1 - Keta 11:35, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
•  Support. I think there should be at least one fireworks shot in the featured pictures. I looked through the Category:Fireworks and did not found a better image. --TM 14:54, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
