This may not be a good image but it shows the reflections being dragged out as you say, but there was no manipulation of the water.garyrhook wrote:

Well, I'd like to be proven wrong. It would be educational. Unfortunately, there's nothing around here comparable (water-wise) so I can't go experiment myself.

I understand that.
However, the firework lasted only a few seconds, and was not constant. It's reflection in the water should be pretty precise, yet it is not. You've done some processing on the reflection. The lights from the buildings, geometrically speaking, are casting impossibly long reflections. You've done some processing. It's unreasonable to imply that this is just a simple long exposure, because as far as I can tell it's not. The water appears to have been manipulated. If an SOOC shows that I am mistaken, that would be very educational to me, as well.
I was simply asking about your mindset and motivation to do so. Granted, I'm probably too much of an engineer to ignore the physical impossibilities that I perceive in the image.
