Why the finger? Without it the photo is rather interesting because the scale is unclear, could be a huge flooring or something small.

Thank you to all who commented - and to voters. This was indeed intended to be a symbolic representation of the events commemorated that week. I was not able to set up an indoor studio under controlled conditions, so I had to use my deck. I would have preferred less wind. Timing was tough. I agree it would have been better with more smoke. The white specks are reflections of the flash from distant wet leaves - they were unintentional and unavoidable, and yet they might also be viewed as symbolic.

This is interesting. My first impression was the twin towers. Funny how our conciousness changes because of an event. It was a good choice to do b & w imo. The image could use a little snappier focus, perhaps using a sharpening tool in a photo editing program. The smoke is a nice touch. The obvious would have been to leave them burning and show the flame. But you chose a nice, unique approach by using the smoke. I recently tried a picture using smoke, and mine wasn't very effective. You did a good job. It meets the challenge for neg space too. The few spots are distracting and make me wonder what they are. Good luck in the challenge! Grayce aka Gracious

Extremely good 9-11 reference. Probably too heavy on the space. 6
