Pretty good. Perhaps a bit sharper focus on the white bits.

I like what you're doing here.
I'd like to suggest some very minor changes which might (in my opinion only) improve the image.
The incense burner seems on a slight tilt within the frame. I think this may be because of viewpoint/ position of the camera since the tip seems to be fairly vertical but the whole item doesn't quite seem straight.
The incense cones on the right - I'd move the one that is partially hidden by the burner to the right just a touch and infact move all of them to the right just a touch - feels more balanced to me.
I like the subtle shape and effect of the smoke - is it a long exposure?

good idea, but if the lighting were more dramatic, the photo would do better

very good capture, I can almost smell it. Love the soft flow of smoke.

Comment by CraigD:
too much is out of focus, I think having it all in focus would have worked better.

Good composition. The smoke certainly carries this picture to high places.

Very pretty. I do think you could of left the cones out of the shot. They don't seem to add much. The pot is good with the smoke but maybe the focus could of been more on the pot? I think this should do well, it's an appealing shot.

Nice and clear, though the little flecks on the black background detracted a bit from the absolute red and blacks.

Very, very good lighting. Nice presentation. This shot is a good argument for spot editing. With that, you'd had been able to clean up the light specs on the black background. 8 -danny
