Scion, shouldn't there be a reflection of the fireworks in the water? or were you zoomed in?

Maybe not long enough of an exposure?

waaait a minute, just the speed of light reflecting off the water into the camera's lens couldn't possibly make it an exposure issue, certainly not at 1/25...

You can see a slight glimpse of yellow in the bottom of the frame in the water. The reflection was just below that, out of frame.

As Sauc pointed out, it was just out of frame. I did take some that have the reflection, none that are stellar but I will evaluate them and they might be coming to a General Photography Competition soon...
