I see good things in both of these. I like Alexander's rendering but<br>
will try to explain in more detail how I feel it could be improved.<br>
<br>
In gnokii's version, the trails of the exploding particles have a<br>
softer, fuzzier look. In Alexander's, they are very fine streaks with<br>
what I would call a higher energy -- meaning (at least to me) there<br>
are very abrupt contrasts between one color/brightness and another.<br>
To my eye this makes for a more distracting background, when I think<br>
the right goal would be a beautiful but subtle background that doesn't<br>
make itself too noticeable. Also, the center of the fireworks are<br>
very bright, again making for possibly some excess distraction.<br>
<br>
However, overall Alexander's rendering does have a great feel, and<br>
perhaps softening or blurring these exploding trails outward from the<br>
center of each firework would help reduce the energy somewhat. I'm<br>
not sure how much the brightness of the center of each firework could<br>
be adjusted without sacrificing people's ability to know what they're<br>
looking at.<br>
<br>
I wish I had the skill to do a version based on what I'm talking<br>
about, but I don't. But I hope the explanation was helpful to someone<br>
who does!<br></blockquote><div><br>A modified version [1] is based on the comments of Paul. I don't think what it full realisation Paul's idea. This is middle variant.<br><br>[1] - <a href="http://publictest04.fedoraproject.org/artboard/post/view/113">http://publictest04.fedoraproject.org/artboard/post/view/113</a></div>
