Boom indeed. LOL I don't think I would have guessed that the original was a photo of fireworks, because you never see them in such vibrant colors.I like the editing is rather effective though, and I really like the contrast between all the green colors and red and orange.

I like that the center of the explosion also is the center of the composition. I think this is an image with strong visual impact, and show a creative mind. I wish you luck with the contest.

Thank you so very much! When the contest says not natural anymore it leaves me with a question....what is it they want? I have tried several different things in the past with no luck so this time I really changed it and it for sure is not natural. I was surprised with the results.

To be quite honest, I am not sure either. I think it could be something like this, but it could also be a surreal image. I think it depends on which entry is best done, or with the best visual impact.

I love your title for this Willie and you notes. No it's not natural anymore and a pretty colored mess. Well done and thanks for sharing. Best wishes for the contest.

Regards,
Robin.
