Smoke Composite

[Steve Adkins]

Took my last smoke posting (Smoke Choir) … http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...read.php/95935
and used Fractalious for left and right elements and copied original/ flipped and processed with Pixel Bender for center. Free transform plus a radial gradient and dodge and burn layer for various shading.
Not sure where (in the world) I ended up with this composite… but it has been a fun ride to my 100th post!
All C&C welcome.

This is super interesting and intriguing to look at! I love how the flow of lines in the middle connects the elements at the top and bottom, plus those sketchy fractalius lines leading your eye upwards. Hugely creative!
