Spectacular and very colorful result.
AI can do some amazing edits but does have its limits. In the second image it's easy to spot the fact that the light on the audience as well as all the reflections are coming from the low fiery display on the distant bank in the center of the image. The flanking aerial displays have no reflections in the water nor offer ambient light on any of the foreground elements. I have seen some highly artistic LR/PS gurus who can make things like that match up but I am not one of them.

The lack of reflections and initial light stream as the rocket went up maybe more my shooting than the AI subject selection. A lot of my shoots were back behind people and boats and not timed perfectly. All three added to the loss of the initial trail amd the reflection.
Hey Tim,
I initially misunderstood you. I thought this was a complete made up AI picture. But it is of your images of fireworks, it's just the AI combined your photos into one photo, well or two?
It would be interesting to see the originals you started with so we can see where this started and your ending point.
Alan has eagle eyes for sure. His observations are valid, though I bet 90% of the people out there if you showed them these two photos would see or spot anything amiss, and just say that these are awesome.
