This reviewer's initial impression was extremely negative, but after returning to the image and figuring out exactly what the image contained, this is a high score. A little too subtle in the abstract sense, this could have been mistaken for a different object in particular with the smoke. On further review though, the image matches the title and is very clever - something to consider when reviewing is not to jump to comclusions as this reviwer did. That may be a problem for this image from a general appeal standpoint, but technically and artistically, this is an outstanding effort on the part of the author and should be viewed as a clever, creative, properly lighted and focused with amazing impact. If there were justice in the one to ten voting system, this would be a perfect ten and if a Hall of Fame existed on DPC, a sure entry into the pantheon of imaginative and illusionary photography. A 10++ from this reviewer - well done.
