Fireworks shoot off behind Walt Disney World's Space Mountain.

I admit that there is a good bit of Photoshop work at play here. This shot is a composite of two shots (with a little bit of rearranging and some artistic license) that were taken from our balcony at the Contemporary Resort. The two original images I shot can be seen on my Flickr page at Wishes Fireworks From the Contemporary 1 and Wishes Fireworks from the Contemporary 2.

Originally the fireworks were somewhat off to the left, as they're shot off a good ways back behind Cinderella Castle. The shots turned out well enough that I decided I wanted a different look and put Space Mountain in the foreground. So, take a little pink, a little blue (extra points if you get the movie reference), and about 45 minutes, and you have the resulting image above. Note the hidden mickey.

And yes, since I know someone will say something about it, this is a composite of two different bursts of fireworks. The blue/orange is one set, the streamers with the red/yellow is the other. The hidden mickey is actually my own creation out of one little tiny burst, assembled together to form a shape like I wanted.
