On first glance simple yet appealing, but the more one looks the more one sees; the textures, shadows, reflections, pattern of smoke...

That's one terrific shot, and very clever idea (though it took you a while to think of it) of using an incense stick. Congratulations.

I love this photo! The pots seem to almost be 'oooh'ing at the candle. And the fact the smoke seems to be saying 'good' is ridiculously cool.

Great way to show motion. Love the lighting and the black and white tones. I like the sense of emotion you are trying to convey.
Post actions
Beautiful and very subtle!
Post actions
i like how the smoke looks like it spells good
Post actions
oo! i really like this. the bw is awsome, and the tones are great.
Post actions
Understated and pleasing.
Post actions
this is really neat. a tighter crop and but more highlight to exentuate the conrast and this would won

There is a lovely atmosphere to this image and the lighting is equally as good, This is a well thought of image and the whisps of smoke add to it greatly. The texture on the pots is tangible.

Wow! Nice and subtle! Very nice pic.
Post actions
Really clever idea. I like the side lighting and the fade into black on the right. I would suggest if you ever want to try this again, to use a darker, more textured candle to match up with the largest urn (?) in the back to help bring the whole image together. Sorry, can't vote!

10. Very nice, crisp, visually compelling.

Beautiful lighting and composition.

I love this shot....perfect composition!
Post actions
This is awesome! I love the concept and the composition with those reflections really makes this striking.
Post actions
very nice don in black and white as opposed to color. Almost reminds me of an Ansel Adams photo.
Post actions
the details from the lighting and the smoke make for such an outstanding image
Post actions
An elegant and delicately lit still life.

simple and clean. well composed, especially like that there is lot of space around the candle while the vases are close together, leads the view directly to the smoke.
Post actions
What a wonderful image. I'd like to see just a little more shadow detail.
