Ever notice how interesting smoke can look, when the light hits it just right? The smoke from a candle or a cigarette creates its own art.
This is your task: Capture the beauty of smoke and how it can develop all sorts of interesting shapes to set our imaginations free, like debodebo's 'Silk Rose'.
One tip is to use incense sticks or some other continuous source of smoke. Another is to use a dark or black background, and try to maneuvere the smoke into interesting shapes by wafting card in front of it. Pay attention to your lighting and get creative :)
In this contest we will allow the use of gradients to color the smoke in post process. Something that is not typically allowed in beginner contests, but an exception will be made for this contest only.
