This was created by using incense smoke images and motorbike parts for the dragon...placed into shape before creating the surrounds and background...in this case, the person, hills, tree and smoke (clouds) over the top, then colours were introduced to give depth and atmosphere.

Hmmmm...the small DPC size limitation hurts the magnificence of this photo which should be printed HUGE and viewed on a cathedral style wall for full dramatic effect. I'm sorry to see this one didn't go higher for you, Judi. But, a triumphant effort nonetheless!
Great work, and very interesting to look at - would love to see your psd file ;) I received a great compliment that my entry was mistaken for your work in this challenge... now if I could just pull off the numbers that you consistently make... again, nicely done :)

Can't vote on this but I want to tell you this is absolute stellar work! Like your other pieces I would easily label this the artist's 'Etheral Series'. Mythical creatures come to life in the smoke and fire. The warm red/orange hues breath life and heat into this creation. Love that this dragon is called forth from the fire and ash - the smoke swirls and erupts to take shape and form into this mighty and fierce beast - 'Behold! the Dragon's Breath!. That wizard best be careful on the fire he/she has envoked least they get burned; this dragon is not to be summoned lightly. Great job on this crafted piece - I have no critique's on what could be improved. The invocation of the image was called forth perfectly. A moment is captured and a story is told within this image.
Wonderful entry. I find it beautiful, extremely artistic. I am really impressed with your processing skills, the smokey-dragon is just magnificent. My best vote in that challenge!
AS an abstract, there is something very appealing about this image. The tones, the shapes, the suggestion of something epic and mythical happening. But I'm having a hard time identifying an actual creature. There are elements (something that looks like wings, maybe a couple of legs). Perhaps this is the appeal of the image.
