I love the various layers of the smoke lines. They show up well against the dark background and the photo is obviously taken well due to the clarity and focus.
I attempted a similar set up, so I really appreciate how much smoke you were able to capture! It is not as easy as it looks, but you have nice stratified lines in the field of view with cool colors!
Smog is in a grace way. And the physical phenomenon is illustrated in a clear way. Good Job
I really like the utter chaos displayed here, almost look like a reeeeallly long exposure shot of someone running around with a flashlight! I wonder if cropping the left side of the image and centering the smoke would make it pop even more.
Super trippy! I like the direction of the smoke, it works well with the negative space I think. Pretty darn cool!
This is really cool. It looks like the smoke is coming down from the top of the image, it reminds me of the River Styx. Taking out the more transparent smoke particles was a good call it makes the rest of it really pop.
Interesting photo. The double lines are really interesting to look at and emphasize what’s going on. The transition from laminar to turbulent is interesting to see here.
Great job adjusting the curves to darken the background and focus the image on the sharper, brighter lines.
This image is really awesome! The contrast between the smoke and the background is really cool. Your color choices are very dramatic, and I think you did a good job to highlight the caos.
I really like the editing that was done in this photo; the heavy emphasis on the lines makes the image quite dramatic and chaotic.
This is an incredible image. My first thought is what phenomenon is being captured. Great job with the clarity and saturation of this image. I love the choice of composition as it gives the image space and reduces clutter. Great capture and editing!
I really like the patterns created by the smoke and how the image is colored. The shapes are very interesting and the blue colors make it look like water or glass. It almost looks like a composite image because of the complexity.
Woah very cool image, how did you get those crazy colors and amount of smoke in so many different directions? Love this image.
Wow! That is really beautiful flow. I like the “chaotic” flow, in a good way. The color looks great.
This is a very interesting image. I like how it is clear that this is smoke, but there are so many abstract shapes that the viewer can get lost in with thier imagination.
This photo is absolutely amazing! It’s crazy to see the different types of “streams” of smoke as it disperses. This reminds me of some of those photos when you look up abstract images
Very beautiful! I love the patterns created. How did you make the different flow patterns so sharp? The image really looks unreal! You can really see where the smoke builds up and begins to push towards the left of the image.
I like this image because the smoke looks like little pieces of straight floating up into the air. I also like the use of 2 light source rather than one.
Very much enjoy the pattern, not quite sure how you could get a shape like that. Like the nice wide range of colors in the photo. Like the cropping of the photo too with it all happening on one side.
Whoa, this smoke pattern is incredible. The focus within this image is exceptional and the colors within the smoke bring out an awesome contrast. I like that the smoke almost look like a rope being tied up into a complex knot.
