for an abstract it's nice, don't think it's alien...

Looks like a man and a woman making love, maybe two women. Up top is a breast, and in the middle a leg wrapped around the waist, just abot the buttocks and the legs angled down.

It is wild looking but it looks as if its just smoke with a filter added.

This would be a beautiful smoke shot, your composition is wonderfull as well as the focus, but your black levels have been under saturated. I think your background should be black, but instead it is grey. This causes you to also loose detail in the smoke.

Love the way the smoke is on the outside and then the inside of the border.

Having the smoke go over the bottom of the border is a nice touch.

I love the shape of the smoke in this shot, but I wish that the black was black-er.

Interesting use of what I guess is smoke. I love the shape you created.

I like this and will be giving it a top score. I would like to know the intention of the frame that is behind the "alien" at the bottom yet in front of the "alien" at the top. I can only guess it is to make it appear that the "alien" is slipping out of the frame, or perhaps you just want to give it a more 3-D look.
