Challenge: Smoke II (Basic Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-40D
Location: Salem Oregon home studio
Date: Nov 1, 2008
Aperture: 5.6
ISO: 400
Shutter: 8
Galleries: Still Life, Studio
Date Uploaded: Nov 1, 2008

 This picture was taken at my home and I used my sisters glass flute and used inscense for the smoke. I also used a LED flashlight to light the smoke from below. The LED light is what gave the smoke a bluish/purple color natually, I didn't have to do much with the color. I converted from RAW, adjusted the color overlay and cloned out some finger prints from the flute. I then cropped and formatted for website.

The writing on the flute is a little blured so I think I will get docked for it but I am hoping for a 5 or 6.

Well, it's certainly original but doesn't make any kind of sense. For being nicely surrealistic I would start with a better title.

That looks like fire to me, not smoke.
