This can’t be real. It looks too perfect. I’m surprised this got by the photo editors without the tag ‘illustration’ attached to it.

Thanks. In this instance, we’ll take “too perfect” as a compliment to the photographer. The shot was not manipulated in any way.  Like most good fireworks pictures, a long exposure of several seconds was used, to capture multiple bursts of fireworks. Actually, I like the one below, from the same shoot, even more: GBU Editor
