 Not sure if this really qualifies as macro, given my current score patter I seem to be missing the mark, but I like it anyways!

Set up the incense holder with a little blue-tinted LED penlight to the left of it in a piece of styrofome. Placed cardboard infront of the light to make it shine only in the smoke and not illuminate the incense itself. Lit by a bulb off to the right.

I am assuming that the incense was your subject, yet it occupies very little of the photo. For a macro challenge, you really need to be close up to the subject and demonstrate a lot of detail. Would have done better if you had gotten a close shot of the glowing tip

Interesting use of light and dark, of negative space, of textures and of contrasting colours...

I'm trying to figure out what this is. The blue light up above is interesting, but I'm trying to "get it."
