Lovely. Very organic and though the smoke is in a bit of a tangle I think the shapes it is creating and the nature of the subject itself lends the image to feeling free and light instead of busy/noisy. The lighting looks great and I like the composition. I really like how the smoke kind of has a similarity to some asian writing characters. I think the focus is a bit soft, but working with smoke its probably hard to get tack-sharp focus. I definitely feel the zen and I like the simple display of this image. I gave a 7
This is going to do well, I'm sure. I'm giving it a 5. To me, even though it is smoke, it is very chaotic. I think the composition would have worked better by cropping in such a way that there was some negative (black) space on one side or the other. A nice idea overall, suprised there weren't more of these type of entries. Good job.
