I think the blurriness lends a nice warmth to the pic. I live in Melbourne, and there is no place in the city I like more than the Southbank walkway. HEAPS of memories associated to that place. Night time strolls, school excursions, hanging out with friends... trying to kill time, trying to find something to eat with $1.80. Heh, oh, I love this pic to bits. :)
I think that the others have said it all. Tripod is number one on the list. It does not matter so much with the fireworks because the whole photo is then all about movement.

If my comment on your work ever seems to criticise, it does not. It is always so that we may learn together.
Spectacular- I agree wholeheartedly about the pro-blurriness for this shot; adds a dreamy feel to it. Thanks for sharing, sorry I've commented so late on this one- I've just discovered it (glad I did!)
The idea of this picture is really nice, but it didn't work out as it should be... The colors are rich but it's to blurry in my opinion. Which is not supposed to be a bad thing, but the colors are really warm which is really nice. Keep it up
