Neighborhood fireworks
by Colleen Prohaska

Lawrence, Kansas

The neighbors up the hill had shot off dozens of fireworks and the air was thick with smoke. Backlighting comes from a street lamp. The child is dancing in the dark as her mother ignites more fireworks.

I love the silhouettes and fiery orange color - that's an awful lot of smoke, it looks more like a building on fire than just fireworks!

Wow, Colleen, what an image! This is a truly beautiful silhouette. Nicely done!

I really like this! The silhouetted figures against that smokey, glowing background. I can almost feel the child's excitement!!
