Awsome, just you missed an "e" in barbeque. Hint: the smoke would have probably stood more with a black backround. Also what's the distortion on the far left side and bottom left hand corner?
Great idea. Made me laugh out loud!
The background is a bit distracting though. If it were smoother and a little bit darker, I think that the impact of the smoke would have been more evident. 8
I think this is really funny and a bit different to other entries I've seen so far. I think you could make it more interesting my experimenting with lighting though. 7
you people and your "woodies" crack me up! i keep thinking "yeah, those are tired," and then you do something else unexpected with them... thanks for the hearty giggle.
We can only hope they burn each other up and can't show up in future challenges! :-) Just kidding. The could, as with "Mirrors", be in a really great image. Problem with this image (other than "them") is that it's about them and the sight gag, not about smoke - even though it exists. I rated lots of other people lower for the same reason. Good luck with the challenge.
hehe deffinitely a good title and has a nice spirit to it :) :D possibly look at making the lighting dimmer so the light from the candle focuses more attention on the smoke? nice photo though, brought out a laugh
