During voting: At first I had titled this one 'the raging Gecko'. Because to me the fogure on the left reminded me of a gecko who is about to break havoc on the devilish faded smoke figure to the right. Now I think that would have helped a bit.. since from the comments, it looks like people dont see it as a raging figure... they just see some smoke:-)

Regardless, it is doing better than I expected. Thanks for all the comments and keep them coming...

ETA: Here's an outtake that I should have kept I think:

realy like this but I think that the white at the bottom should be cropped out.

Interesting - where you see rage, I see longing and admiration. I see a figure of a man in the smoek on the right, a ballerina facing away from him on the left, with a flowing dress billowing behind her.

I don't know about 'rage' but ok. It's abstract that's for sure.

I don't get rage out of this photo. It's very peaceful. It reminds of of incents burning which is a more clam feeling. I love this photo alot with out the title. Its ghostly form reminds me of soft silk dancing in the night. Composition great. I like how its place to the left and is balance off with this big black negative space and the + of this image is that the swirls or waves seem to be heading towards the black space which makes the photograph engaging and to the far right..:-)

rage would seem a little more violent... I think it would have communicated rage more if you cropped out most of the "black" space and had the figure on the left take up more of the frame.
