Firework night over Maiden Erlegh Lake in Reading.

My first effort at firework pix and this was one of the best. Standing on a fishing platform in the middle of the lake, hoping not to drop anything important!

Tried between F5.6 and F8 with various length exposures to capture a few bursts. Most of the fireworks were quite close together in the sky so a few images were burnt out in the middle of the fireworks or under exposed on the landscape. Any advice on improvements to this image or technique will be gratefully received!
