Thanks for the comment on my photo :)
I hoped this would place much better than it did. But I'm glad this did better than mine, because I honestly think it is indeed much better technically. You captured the smoke swirls so much better and sharper!

I would love to see this one win a ribbon, this is a 10 from me, I really love the white background and the position the match is in. The smoke filling up the rest of the picture is awesome

Wicked smoke effect, I like it a lot. Probably a good little earner on Stock as well ;)

Great simple and uncluttered layout. Nice lines from the smoke that take your eye across the image. Good job.
