This is cool. I know that fireworks aren't the easiest thing to photograph, but you've captured them well.
You've timed the shot wonderfully, and I like how it almost looks as though it's raining beneath the bursts in the sky.
The colours of the fireworks are pretty and I like how they light the sky and the water up in pink, but I think boosting the saturation to really make them pop could improve the image.
I think the centred composition works quite well here, but I don't like the object in the bottom right corner (is that the top of a bollard or something?). It's a bit distracting. You could crop some space from the bottom of the frame, but I think a better option would be to crop an equal amount from the left and right sides. That way the distraction is gone but the fireworks are still central, and think the tigher crop would make the fireworks stand out more too.
Nice shot. I like that you've included the area around the fireworks site - it makes this a very un-generic fireworks photo'.

Great job. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="=)" title="=) (Smile)"/>
