Good grief! Where there is smoke there is fire. Smoke well caught and the fire holds us to your image.

thankyou

Well smokey that's for sure

Nice moment captured, but the smoke prevents the dark areas to pop.
I put your photo into photoshop, and the histogram of the dark areas misses 24 steps before the histogram hits any black. If you had put some burning tools in the shadows, it reveals the smoke even better.

Hi, I just took that image back into photoshoppe and the histogram is equalized however I really appreciated your suggestion of using the burn tool to highlight the dark spots in order to bring out the smoke more. I have re-uploaded the new image which shows stronger. Again thank you. Your kind of comments is what I long for on this site.

I like this one better because the focus is more on the smoke and the colour palette of blue further softens this visually (means it looks smokier).

thankyou
