Wonderful capture! I can't decide which of your most recent two images I like better--the colors in both are very appealling. Composition and exposure looks terrific. Love the star patterns of the street lights--I assume this is from a fairly small aperture. Including shooting stats (f-stop, shutter, focal length, etc) along with the image is always very helpful for me so I can learn from others' work.

I used ISO 100 f13 and bulb exposure w/ cable release and held shutter 7 to 36 seconds on my shots last year. applied CF mirror lock up and noise reduction settings. I avoided mirror lock up this year and had 2 20d set up and set one w/ noise reduction and the other w/o and I can't tell that much difference between the two so next year I will avoid it all together. With it set the cf card takes the same amount of time as the exposure to recover and shoot another shot. Fireworks go to fast to waste presious time on a busy flash card. this year I used ISO 200 f 18 and exposed 15 to 18 seconds
