Well, I don't know how this will do but I worked super hard for it.
Shot for 3 hours one night, only to find out the settings on my camera had gotten reset so the date was 2009!
Slept 2 hours, and re-shot. Went to work and edited the image while at work, slowly but surely!
I hope it's worth it. It's not what I had originally envisioned, but I'm happy with what I achieved.

I think this one is under appreciated... I love the smoke it the back!
Knowing how hard you worked on this I looked you up and found it. Well done but I think it was for sure underrated...
From the thumbnail I thought the yellow was feathers. I'm not sure how you made the smoke yellow. It's a bit grainy which isn't too bad. The overall photo is a bit dark and contrasty. It's not bad but not wow either.
