More technique putzing around, this time I used the strobe 180 degrees from a mirror, thereby
eliminating the previously used LED lights. Keeps things simpler...

I like the uneven tonalities in the background. If the little bright dots in the background are intentional, perhaps add more of them. If they're accidental, you know how to handle that.

Nice formation.

the little bright dots in the background

They are from the fine sparkle in the black background drape from JoAnne's fabric that I didn't
clone out. Sheer laziness on my part...

The lighting doesn’t look too bad Chauncey as far as it goes, but there are some things that don’t make sense in the lines for a natural smoke trail. Especially if you fired a strobe. Looks a little soft too?

A lot of processing done?

I've pondered things like that Izzie...maybe someday when I feeling down.

Terry...how could I improve on the lighting>Soft...DOF is limited to a couple inches even @ f/32>
Virtually no PP done.
