The decision to invert the color adds a lot to this image. It allows you to see a lot more detail in the smoke ring itself that is not shown in the original.
The choice to invert the image really lets you see the details of that smoke ring. I really like the framing of the image as well.
Very unique image, the symmetry of the ring is quite nice as a subject
At first, I was a little confused what was going on in the image. Nevertheless, the picture is really cool. I like all the different shapes in this image and the deep contrast between light and dark. This would make a sick skateboard graphic.
The inversion of the color is really a unique and fascinating way to view the image. The view of the set up and the box is much more clearly seen. I like the dark swirl around the smoke ring.
I like the haze/aura around the box, and I think it looks nicer and more distinct in the inverted color version, so I think that was the right choice
I think the smoke was a bit easier to see with the colors inverted, so I think that was a cool and interesting choice. It makes the photo really uniquely colored for smoke.
