Thanks everyone for the great comments and scores! A PB for me and my first HM!
I think that I should have titled this photo a little more directly, because the effect I was going for was pasta so hot it was smoking, not just steaming. Most people thought that I was trying to show steam (which I probably should have done). My first idea fot a title, "Hot Pasta", has been used many times, so I avoided that one. Looking back I should have gone with something more direct like "Smoking Hot Pasta".
I have to ask, did you drop a cigarette in the pot? :)Because of the look of cigarette smoke which is a little gross I will give it an 8 because I think the picture has great composition and lighting and I would have probably given it a ten if it would have been steam instead....
hmmm...I don't think the incense stick works very well as steam. Otherwise I like it. For whatever reason I especially like that little gleam twinkling off of the utensil
I like this over all except for the smoke. I realize that it is supposed to look like steam but it behaves in a different manner. It looks like maybe you were burning incense in the background.
This would have been so much better with a lot of noise reduction on the steam (probably in reality smoke). Smoke highlights noise really badly, but responds well to noise reduction software like neatimage.
