 Thanks for the great comments. I know it's messy, but it captured the moment and I ran out of sparklers by submission. I focused with a guide light then triggered the shutter in the dark. The sparkler went for 12 sec and I outlined the yellow objects then left the exposure for the remaining 5 seconds. Crop, auto level, dodge & burn, unsharpen mask and resize in PS3.
Here is the original.

seems to me that the sparkler makes sense on the original, but after cropping, is more messy than anything else. that said the sparkler is quite cool even without making sense :-)

I think it would look better without the sparkler throughout ... just my opinion ...
