Another Fireworks shot from the 4th weekend.... I'm struggling with bringing out the light on the right and eliminating the smoke. I used the clone tool at varying opacities to eliminate the biggest areas of smoke. I also warmed the image up with the temp slider in ACR which added a nice boost to the color.

Nikon D300s 18-200mm VR placed in the sand (on a towel) for stability @ 27mm
f/13
3s
ISO 200
-1.33 EC

I'm not sure what you can do with the smoke. The only way of avoiding them is to shoot the fireworks in the first few minutes before smoke goes everywhere. It doesn't really bother me here at all. The fireworks are well captured, the fine details on the larger version are pretty nice.
