It's a nice montage of 3 or 4 images. It is definitely a construct with a time difference in the sections. The brightest lightning bolt shows only faint reflection, yet the fainter lightning bolt's reflection is brighter. The left hand side of the image would have been taken in brighter lighting. There are "ghost" people scattered in the image, not from motion blur but from an overlay. The firework has blurred edges and would have ben placed in afterward, to help the transition in joining the lighter and darker halves.

The image may be accurate position wise but is out of context in time. It is a manipulation of events. A very nice one though.
