Same sort of stunt and a similar angle. Different plane and processing choices, of course. Couldn't quite get the deep reddish smoke that I got in the original (The angle of the sunlight through the smoke was not quite the same), so I decided to see what an over the top treatment could do for it.
Post-challenge notes:
Not shabby at all, and I beat the average of the first version by a nice margin. About the only thing I can complain about is that Wendy and Jenn still came in ahead of me.

Back to comment... Smoke on the waaaa-tterrr... LOL! The most played guitar riff ever. I'm not looking up old entries, but I think this might be Spiffy's and it might be VP's orange crush. Nicely done!
Wow, there are a lot of challenge entries with this exact title. Makes finding your original hard, but this is quite wonderful. Actually reminds me of a dream I had just last night.
This must be yours Steve. Front page potential I'm sure. Wonderful split toning. I wonder if you're gonna have issues if you show the before and after shots :)
