Thanks for all the comments :)

I did rush during the PP of the image. Should've tweaked the whites more. This is indeed a negative, that when inverted looks like a negative because after I inverted the image , I tweaked the existing blueish color of the smoke to appear red.

Trying to work with manual focus on the kit lens is somewhat of a nightmare so back to the trusty 100mm macro which is a bit too long but I plan on re-trying this sorta shoot.

Will update exif shortly, and post setup details. Was in such a rush to post that I left it out.

Thanks, Louise :)
Smoke was the first subject I had in mind when thinking of the Negative Challenge, so the excuse to try it out again.
P.S.
Great minds think alike ;)

I bet that (like me) you are very disapointed with your result .... I think it has been a little underrated. Anyway ... Smoke was a great subject for this challenge. It can produce so many different patterns ... it's very funny how our photos look so much alike :)

Nice! The smoke pattern is execeptional, I wonder how many takes it took! I'd just like the white to be a bit whiter though. Great job none the less

This is a great and soothing image. I've always tried to do it but never had any success at it. Good luck.
