 I did the smoke shot, yes, i know... but anyways i did not fix this 1 that much and you will probably think that i did some modifications on this picture but then you are wrong i just did the normal thing... first i took the picture with my sigma flash set up exacly where the red light beam comes in to the picture, and then i took the raw file into the computer, did some Exposure moves and some contrast moves and putted black abit higher than usual... then i really did the shot i did the whitebalance of the picture so cold that it went so blue :), then i did USM and dogde/burns and then i just saved it for web :)

I always love smoke pics... they're so interesting and abstract... ths is beautiful with the lines and play... this is lovely :) I do wish that orange spot wasn't in the pic (perhaps cropping? - i think i like it better when I hide it with my hand while lookign at the pic but thats a personal thing i guess?) but at the same time....I can understand leaving in in too... it looks liek an angry eye of a smoke face making an O with its mouth.... (hehe yeah I like those visual tests can you tell?) - well to cut myself short this is great ;) I like it a lot!!! :-D (*think i like it?*)

Very nice but the orange spot on the right is distracting. Maybe it should have been cropped out

I think the small area of orange on the right spoils the effect.
