Smoking Rose - a series

I have been working on a series of shots. Over 500 shots taken these are the best of those in my opinion. Enjoy and please add your comments if you feel so inclined. Good or bad, feedback is how we learn......

those are really nice Rob, I wish there was a way i could identify each image ( there may well be but i havent noticed) as there are two where i think the smoke should billow out a bit before it goes up (both seem to be at the same horizontal angle ) and i could also say which is my favorite

But a really nice series

These are great! I didn't go thru the whole lot...did you have any colour ones...? If not, then I think a touch of colour would be great. If there are, then ignore me.

Smoking Rose 1
Smoking Rose 2

Rob, those are really neat. How did you do it?
and I agree it would be nice to see some color, or would that take away from the effect??

Thanks Cathy, the effect is not nearly as dramatic in color. Sorry but I dont have time to explain how I did it right now. I will try to do that tonight at home. I am at work right now.

Palms if you hover your mouse over the little thumbnails for a second it will tell you what the file names is. Starting from the left the first one is Smoking Rose 1, then the next one is Smoking Rose 2...etc......I have hundreds of just the smoke. I started out just shooting the smoke to get a handle on the lighting. Then I added the rose.

Actually, I kinda do. I couldnt see this at work because it was blocked by our firewall. I didnt post these here with the idea that they could be redone. I am not mad or trying to be an A-hole. If it is expected that any image post here is free to be manipulated then I am sorry. I will not post anymore that I dont wish to be manipulated. Again not upset at you or anything but since you sorta asked.....

Its a good edit though......
