Re: Smoke...mixed emotions
Nicely done, never thought about creating visions with smoke.

Re: Smoke...mixed emotions
Was hinting at creating visions medicinally, not artistically.

Very good Chauncey, I like both.
Now that's an extremely good question so I think it deserves an extremely good answer that I will give you Originally Posted by chauncey

Yes...it involves manipulating selections via PS CC, which, technically, isn't difficult.You made theme through a Photograph!!!
Choosing which of the images to use and what to create with them is a skill that I am sorely lacking.

Re: Smoke...mixed emotions
I find it is a lot like being a child and looking at clouds and seeing figures. The real trick is getting others to see the same thing you are, which is where Photoshop helps a lot.
A few hundred shots and you are bound to get a few winners.
I find that this kind of work is fun on a rainy day in November, when I'm itching to take pictures, but it's too cold and crappy to get outside. The last time I did this was a few months after I had foot surgery and I was going stir-crazy because I was so mobility limited (cast and crutches) and just wanted to shoot something.

Re: Smoke...mixed emotions
Especially beautiful to me... I can see the figures easily, and adore the blue and black colour combination.
