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
