The night ended with fireworks. I noticed with the recent spate of 4th of July fireworks pics on Instagram, majority pointed to the sky alone. I know it is not always possible, but try to include the surroundings, skyline or a landmark.

Think about it. Fireworks in the dark sky alone is quite meaningless. It can be Nagoya or Norway or someone else’s backyard. It is the juxtaposition that makes the picture and makes it more meaningful when you look at it years later.
