Future World West as seen from the World Showcase Promenade
Epcot - Walt Disney World
Orlando, FL

This is a quintessential Epcot shot where I tried to capture a small part of the beauty of the Flower and Garden Festival. I tried taking this shot at many different times of day, and while I did grab some shots of this during golden hour, I ultimately decided to go with a daytime shot as the colors really popped the most during the day, shadows notwithstanding.

This is a four exposure composite. Three exposures were taken using my camera's automated bracketing at 1.3sec, 0.6sec, and 2.5sec respectively. These were combined using the Lightroom Merge to 32-bit HDR plugin to form the "background" of the shot. Of course, no shot that has a monorail beam is complete without a monorail, so I took a fourth exposure at 1/320sec to freeze the monorail on the track. I combined the monorail exposure with the other three exposures using a layer mask in Photoshop.

Thanks for your views, favs, and comments! Constructive criticism is always more than welcome!
