Fun use of 'smoke'. I like the colors but I wonder if there could have been a better angle for the lighting to prevent some of the distracting reflections (particularly the box reflecting right where the smoke is pouring down). The composition works very well. Congratulations, I'm betting you'll do well. 8
I think the only way of lighting glasses is from behind. With a black background it means cutting out the background or covering the light source to match the glass shape! Not anything I'm going to do very soon, but it would almost certainly would have won you a ribbon! (IMveryHO)
Great creative idea. Really like the blue smoke. Would have been nice if the rectangular reflections in the glasses could have been eliminated. Still an awesome photo IMHO. 9 :)
