Smoke Hawks

[Steve Adkins]

Used a cheap "disco" strobe for some smoke images. Adjusted to about 5/sec. One image (next post) was modified and used in CS5 for this composite. Also added a sky BG.
B&W layer was selectively recolored.
All C&C welcome.

Here is the starter image...
Between the strobe and the incense... We had a real 60's theme goin-on.

You have a wildly creative side Steve! Great , great OOTB thinking. The smoke really does look like birds. I love it and would hang it.

[Hazel Grant]

Are you sure you didn't help create the death eaters in the Harry Potter movies? Looks like them here--and that's a compliment! Well done.

[Bob Miller]

Steve...very creative....I like it alot!

[Cheryl Slechta]

Steve, they definitely look like Death Eaters Beautifully done.

[Indranil Sircar]

You are at your creative best! Death eaters... could even be Japanese (smoking) kites Excellent work!

[Mitch Carucci]

Wow, great image! Creative composition. They look like fancy kites rippling in the breeze.

[Steve Adkins]

Thanks folks! Kites and Death Eaters... really enjoy you sharing your visions/imaginations.

[Paul Lagasi]

Most definitely war kites....I don't know how you did it but very cool effect..Nicely Done
