I love the blue tones to this one, but I think there are too many distracting elements in front of and around the cool looking smoke. I read an article on photography composition once that said the first rule of thumb is to always remove clutter. anything that's not important to the picture, if possible, get it out of the picture. But I really love the contrast of the colors and that beautiful blue.

What's mechanical about smoke? I can see something mechanical, but don't know what it is... Otherwise, great shot!

Nice photo. I think it could have been nicer if you had cleared up some of the spottiness (is that a word?).
