The colors here are really nice and compliment each other well. I like that there is a lot going on in the image, yet my eye is consistently drawn to what I presume is the end of the incense. The focus is really sharp.
Art: The contrast between the background and the smoke could be a bit more dramatic. The light background with the light smoke makes it more difficult to see.
Flow: The flow is quickly understandable and recognized.
Photographic technique: The focus used in this piece was well done.
The gentle smoke plume shapes and soft blue background give this image its appeal. I do think the image is a little busy and isolating the smoke from the background a little more may help with getting a clearer view of the physics.
Really like the blue background of the plumes. Cold colors make the plumes even more impressive.
I like the color of the image, and the focus is nice. There is a lot going on, which seems a little confusing or overwhelming to me.
I really like the blue background. Combined with the smoke, the background gives the image a tranquil effect. The contrast and the fluid flow is great as well.
I like the contrast of the image, it really brings out the smoke. Don’t need any cropping I believe as the dark corner makes the change in background from dark to light more prominent.
1. The image is wonderfully artistic and the numerous smoke rings are fantastic.
2. The fluid physics are well shown.
3. The photographic technique is very good and the background color works very well to add artistic depth to the image.
The contrast between the deep, blue background lends to illustrating the effect of the plumes in the smoke. Editing out the blob in the bottom left may remove the distraction and focus on the flow a little more.
Bright and beautiful. Great focus. I love the blue background
The flow of this smoke is actually amazing! There is a nice depth of field and focus looks like it goes all the way through the smoke. I like the blue makes it look like the sky in the background.
Smoke is fun to play with because you can really make it any color and it works. The focus is sharp and the randomness scattering of the smoke is fascinating.
The color in this image is very vibrant and really brings out the white smoke plume. Well focused, captures the flow phenomena very well.
Nice tint of blue throughout the image. Contrasts well with the smoke. Great detail in the vortex roll ups. Good focus.
I really like the focus of the smoke in the foreground with the out of focus smoke in the background. It creates a great layering effect. It’s a very cool image!
Wow, very striking image. The blue color is a great choice, and contrasts the white smoke nicely. I also really like how the shadows are still visible under the smoke, gives it a great 3D feel
I really like how your flow really fills up the frame. Really good image without a lot of negative space. I like that the overall color shift, adds a surreal quality to it.
I like the background color it brings out the roll up of the tubes. I like the detail in the shadows and the smoke.
I really like the blue background and how it contrasts with the photo. The two plumes of smoke add some nice chaotic motion to the photo and a solid background to the image.
Wow, nice photo. Good clean crisp focus! Beautiful cloud physics can be seen here.
The blue background contrasts nicely with the well lit smoke. However, possibly consider cropping out the dark fold in the bottom left of the image. Also, the smoke is nice and crisply in focus, good work.
