Smoke and lights... no mirrors. =)

I think this will probably be a personal worst - so rushed, and my wife was tired of the smoke, so I only got a limited number of shots. Ah well.

rotate, crop, neat image, HSM, curves, resize, usm, sharpen

This is an ok image. I would have really liked to see the smoke more in focus, and more even lighting on the container.

I like the low contrast to this image, and the softness to it as well. Nice job.

Excellent idea! While I have seen smoke executed better, I think this photo might have worked better if the crop was centered more on the smoke than the votive it came from, given the sharpnes is on the glass ..JMHO

While I like that the steam looks like a bird, the photo is too blurry to really enjoy.

Damn!!!! This is a similar concept to one I tried out, but I just could not capture the smoke in the way you have done (any tips) great shot
