Cool texture... it kind of looks like string. Did you do an emboss on your shot?

 

[Karri]

Very interesting - wouldn't have guessed it to be smoke! What was your method?

I did a bas relief filter and then put a purple to orange gradient on it.

It's a filter that gives something depth like it has been stamped into metal.

Is that cigarette smoke?

 

[cletusjermal]

no its from an incense stick.

I was asking because I thought it must be from an incense stick. The way the smoke curls from an incense stick is quite distinctive.

Nice capture.

I like the edited version quite a bit. Nice shot!
