August 18 : Smoky

i'm not one to pride myself in my own work but... I love it! except that log at the top is more of a focal point than i'd like it to be. im spending all night doing these tutorial things. Bon soir...

This picture is absolutely stunning. My eyes were immediately drawn to the smoke that doesn't really look like what it is.

Pretty cool Julie.
I know what you mean about the log.
Is the smoke done with the liquify tool or was that done on Camera?
If you want to take focus away from the log try cropping it a bit. Take away the top and the right side, that could work.
Or maybe try throwing a Gaussian blur over everything but the smoke....
Or even add a hue/saturation adjustment layer and de-saturate the background a bit.

Lots of suggestions, sorry. If you weren't so willing to learn I wouldn't be suggesting so much.

Great capture
