I've already send this in a other contest where it didn't got chosen yes, but in my eyes this also does fit this specific contest very well. As I thought out of the box and it's not something that is easy to be done. First you need to get the fireworks (crackling balls, a pot of ground bloom flowers, and a flashing demon) and then you need to lighten it just right. Then you need to put it somewhere it can be safe so nobody can get harmed if it goes wrong (very small change but oke), lighten it. And then get the right settings on your camera. As it can get bright very fast, but you also do not wanna underexpose it. Took me quite some fireworks to get it. But I am happy with the end result, as it actually sold to the media. And also it's still one of my favorite fireworks shots I ever made. It was made with purely consumer fireworks.
