Here are three I took during MVMCP.
These are handheld.
This time I shot manual mode at 1/10 sec, iso8oo, f3.5.
I chose 1/10 because that is about the slowest shutter speed I can use without really trying hard!
I chose 800 because my fireworks are always blown out at 1600.
and I chose 3.5 because I needed some light for the castle.

#3 is definitely my favorite!

I would agree about #3, but I really like the castle in #2. Good shots Craig!

i'm going to have to respectfully break rank here and come out for #1, but it's a personal preference i have, i want my fireworks just a little stronger than the castle, i feel 1 does that, when i first looked at it my eyes were drawn first to the star burst then the castle, the other 2 felt like there were two different things competing for my attention at the same time, just my personal tastes showing up though
and i have come back a couple of times to check my reaction and i still found myself easily distracted in the second two, in the first i find myself looking at the burst then following down the castle, maybe it's just the way my eyes work?
 
so here's one from my fireworks set, i'm still working on my chops on fireworks, luckily i live in an area that has quite a few in the summer, i'm going to try to work on technique
