I couldn't make it to the actual fireworks. So I shot this in a friends house. I arrived there at 23:55 so didn't have much setup time. The subjects were very reluctant to be photographed. So much fun.
For your critique.

430EX gelled red and snooted with an aluminium foil. Unfortunately didn't have anything dark to prevent the flash from bouncing off the white wall behind....

Great concept. I was going to do something similar but with the windows screen saver version on my monitor. Glad I did not try it because I would have been put to shame. Great result.

Nice. Very nice.
Why did you add the border? Was it to break up the dead space at the top of the image?

I just added a border for better presentation for the forum. Here it is with a plain black border. I didn't like a white border on it.
Thanks for your comments everyone.

Seriously cool! The rich burned orange colour works well. Is that some flash gear poking out from the left side of the girl's neck?

A very impressive shot and I just love the amount of space used above the TV

I agree - I think this is an important part of what makes it such a great photo

Good observation... That would be the receiver for the ebay trigger.
Maybe I should keep it to remind me of the spontaneous nature of the shot.

Cheers for the technical deatails! The good feedback you are getting here is well deserved. I can definately see this strong concept could being used for advertising TVs. Someone could do a whole series

I really like the simplicity of this image and its great use of negative space. I also prefer the black border.
