Canada Day wallpaper

I decided to do a patriotic wallpaper for Canada Day which is on July 1st.

hi frances
maybe the flag sould have some lighter and darker areas to make it mode 3d
and maybe you can use stroke (line thickness) to make fireworks more realistic
(but these are just my thoughts)

EDIT:
i was curious how it will look like ;)
it's not good... but it' just a few minutes work

Hi Frances
I think your wallpaper looks great. Only it seems to be a little dark ? Maybe it can be made a little brighter and more contrast.

I finally had time to get back to this I lightened the background, reworked the fireworks and added shadows and highlights to the flag. Thanks for all the helpful suggestions

Very nicely done Angelize, I like the last one you did - bright colours, happy occasion!

Frances,

If you would like to use a photo of real fireworks, you are welcome to "borrow" a shot or two from my site. No commercial use please. Just apply them as a bleach transparency...

Very nice, I like your new version much better the You can see the flad better and brighter and more cheerful.

whatever you say - now it looks better

have a look here
you can see fireworks are more 3d
they spread in all directions (also to_you and off_you)
so rays have to be longer and shorter

also usually gravity has an influence on fireworks
so they should bend to the ground (you bent them a bit)
(it's not always visible as they can disappear faster)

Well done frances. I like the shading you've added to the flag.
