for an abstract it's nice, don't think it's alien...
Looks like a man and a woman making love, maybe two women. Up top is a breast, and in the middle a leg wrapped around the waist, just abot the buttocks and the legs angled down.
This would be a beautiful smoke shot, your composition is wonderfull as well as the focus, but your black levels have been under saturated. I think your background should be black, but instead it is grey. This causes you to also loose detail in the smoke.
I like this and will be giving it a top score. I would like to know the intention of the frame that is behind the "alien" at the bottom yet in front of the "alien" at the top. I can only guess it is to make it appear that the "alien" is slipping out of the frame, or perhaps you just want to give it a more 3-D look.
