The genie needs a shave ;-), but otherwise a very nice idea, well executed. Backlighting is just right, and amount of detail is just right.

nicely done but I'd prefer the "genie" to be more to the left - or better aligned with the lamp.

Concept is awesome. I am pretty sure that you were going for the he is comming out of the lamp look, but I think this would have been even better for me if his head was straight. JMO. Great job!

I love the lighting and smoke. The face is just right with enough there but masked enough as well. The lamp has some serious funky grip going on there, and can take away some focus from the great capture on the right side of the image. I could even see just a portion of the lamp in the shot so the smoke looks like it is rising from out of the lamp and also cutting out the aforementioned crazy grip of doom.
