I really like it but the absence of the source bugs me a bit.
Happy shooting,
Yakim.

I think this would look really nice as a frameless cibachrome print, hanging on the wall, just above a nice, inlaid wood, cigar humidor. Or even just place an unlit cigar beneath and to the left. That would be very Magritte! :-D

Pony,
Thanks for comment. The shot is of incense smoke with a black background. Strobe off camera at 90 degrees camera right. A google search of photographing smoke will give a number of tutorials.

I'm curious: why did you stop down so far, and crank the ISO up so much? Wouldn't you have gotten a sharper image at f/5.6 and ISO 100? (I seem to recall that Canons go down to ISO100, and my recent reading has taught me that most lenses start to go soft at over f/8)

The ISO was inadvertenly set for 400. I would have preferred to be at 200 or 100. The f 11 was intentional. The smoke was a moving target and I wanted a little forgiveness as far as depth of field. Thanks for interest.
