This is the most abstract submission I ever made. If you carefully see you should be able to see two dancers dancing.
This is done with smoke from incense sticks. It was bit tricky to get perfect black background and bright light on smoke. But the filtered sunlight, at deep angle, from the window was of good help (Yes. This is sunlit!).
I did not do much post processing. Just cropping and increased the contrast. Thats it.
I dont know if this will get me numbers, but for sure- I want it to be admired :) I have lots of hopes from this one ... and I consider it to be my best.

Judging by your high vote average by voters I assume that the low score can be attributed to people not seeing the dancers. I saw them and thought it was an excellent photo, one of the top in the challenge.
I like this photo alot I can almost see a dancing figure in the smoke (without looking at the title) there is nothing I do not like or could comment on to make this photo better nice job *10*
What I love about this photo (or smoke in general) is that I can see alot
of monsters from Final Fantasy serial (PS game) in it. But that is individual
of course :)
Does look alive, doesn't it? An easy shot, yet so nice. Smooth. Love it
A nice attempt at Personification. With the title, you can see the feeling. I wouldn't have guessed it too well without the title. The picture is not bad from a "smoke" point of view, but lacks a bit overall in composition. Still...6
this is rather awesome - I totally see them dancing - like a waltz or tango or something - and this could not have been planned - great capture! um...at first I only saw 2, now I see several - this really, really keeps my attention - good job, hope it does well :)
