I have been wanting to try this for a long time now. I know this won't win but I love the shapes that smoke can create. I guess this is just a smoke as art type pic.

Smoke source is 2 incense cones on a glass table, lighting is from strobe underneth glass. I used my 50mm 1.8
Had tons of outtakes on this one

Great title for a great image. The blues in the smoke against the black background are really strong. The whitish smoke adds a neat contrast as well.

When I was a little kid, I used to watch smoke from my Dad's cigarettes. This reminds me of it. (I'm surprised that no one took photos of someone blowing smoke circles.) Anyway, your image is very pretty with the blues and whites against the black background - all nicely composed and focused. Congratulations and good luck with the image.

Excellent, the colour in this really adds to the overall atmosphere, I love it and would love to know the source of the smoke - am sure you'll explain it all at the end of the challenge.

great shot of smoke! Best one I have seen yet!

excellent definition, even if your exposure/brightening has gone a touch too far in places IMO. Including the source might have given the image some sense of contet, instead of being simply a pretty pattern.

Very nice color effect on the smoke

The color is amazing. The white is startling with a black background. And the slight border is very effective on me. 9
