karl-tepfer > Same image as the one immediately on the left...with the colors simply "desaturated."  Although slightly more subtle, I liked the result in this instance.
 12"x18" print size.

This image was taken May 22, 2008 on during the 125th Birthday Celebration of the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge.
Cropped to exactly 10"x10"
karl-tepfer > Sunset on the night of the Brooklyn Bridge 125th Birthday Celebration: May 22, 2008. Couldn't have asked for a more colorful prelude to the fireworks!
12"x18" print size.
karl-tepfer > A few minutes after the fireworks celebrating the Brooklyn Bridge 125th Birthday on May 22, 2008.  This unique lighting of the two towers of the bridge took place for only three nights.  The bright light in the lower left was for the T.V. cameras and reporters covering the event. The reflection of one of the reporters can be seen in the East River.

Most fireworks are set off later at night against a totally black sky.  Fortunately on this evening, late in May, they were lit during the tail end of the photographic "magic hour" (one hour before sunrise or one hour after sunset).  This accounts for the unusual blue sky.
