Egret in smoke

I'm beginning to be of the opinion that IQ takes second fiddle to...does it match my walls.
What say you about the colors?

There is a couch for that somewhere

This is a marketable image. The color works well with the official Pantone color of the year. I like the stuff you are doing with smoke. Some of it is absolutely amazing. Do you exhibit?

Until I starting playing with smoke, I questioned whether my stuff was good enough to exhibit.

Great image! I could easily see this printed and displayed in any number of galleries or public places. There's a certain elegance about it that I think is appealing to many. Out of curiosity, but not to ask for 'trade secrets', how did you create this image?

I think a portfolio of 12 of your best smoke pictures will open some doors. Aside from exhibiting the photos, I think they'd look great in a book or a calendar.

how did you create this image

I simply peruse though several hundred smoke images until I see one, or more, that grabs at me (what might it be?).
Import in PS CC and manipulate them until the vision comes to fruition.

For me, the most difficult part comes with the color part...what seems to work the best.
