on first look this doesnt appeal on an aesthetic level .. just a personal thing ..
BUT ..
it has grown on me the longer i have looked at it ..
the smoke is FANTASTIC .. so many shapes i can see in it ..
a unicorn fetus for one .. !! ..
anyway .. i'm glad i spent a bit of time on this .. as i will now give you a much higher score than i would have if i had just looked .. tapped and moved on to the next photo .. :)
Well, this is going to get some comments, I am pretty sure Lydia will say something about smoking! Myself though, I like it, your face is perfection when it comes to sharpness and clarity, every whisker is tack! One thing though, is in the smoke, if you do a neutral colour selection and then play a little with the blues and whites, you will find that you get some amazing contrasts, blues and contrasting whites. I found this out on a smoke photo I did. You can make a difference too with a little dodge and burn, make that big cloud not so one dimensional. I really like your photo, well done! Vote later
