Sorry for the delay it's been a really busy week. First of all I know it wasn't an easy subject so thank everyone for entering. I liked all the entries but I have to pick one and you have to remember that my judgment is rather subjective
So,
Gareth.lg I like the way fireworks are covering the whole frame although it's not really sharp as a photo.
Tamia The first week when there was no entry I took a similar in subject photo just to add an example. Yours is really way better in every aspect, very emotional photo
Tsukiouji Great work also the only comment I have is that I'd prefer a wider frame but that is just personal opinion
Specialize The half left part of your entry is offtopic at least with this subject. The right is perfect . If it was cropped a bit more it would be my first choice
noelcmn. Color and frame are great, extra time was good for you.

Finally,
all the entries were great but I have to choose. So second place goes to Tamia for her emotional flame and winner and next week's judge is noelcmn

Thanks for judging, George, and for your comments. Thanks, too, for the nod for 2nd. Well done Noel for first place!

Well judged and a deserving win! Thanks for the comments, Yeah, it's not the sharpest photo. I forgot my remote shutter and was shooting using the 2 sec timer, but the tripod was wobbly.

Uhm, wow. A late entry winner. I am honoured. Thanks Tsakatsaka. Congratulations to all entrants, and thanks for participating. Now to judge the next project. PForumites I gather do not like fireworks.
