I have never posted this one publicly yet because I think it might be a little dark (and my favorite color is black.
I call it Lost Souls, but for now I'll refrain from commenting on whom or what I see in the image.
Once again this was taken with the D2X and 105mm
The smoke is from incense cones and the color comes from two SB-R200s with red gels.
One flash was behind the smoke at an angle away from the black BG and one was to the side more or less parallel to the BG with a piece of glossy construction paper on the wall opposite.
I did a slight crop and some NR in CS3. All the eyes, ears and other facial features were in the original RAW file, but on one of them, I burned the features just a hair to make them darker.
