What do you think? Maybe multicoloured smoke instead? C&C very Welcome!

Interesting shot.

And I think a white background is much better than a black one for this colour.

Ok, heres another version on black, of a different image!

How I Did It:

For the actual photograph, i took a black bacground and a jostick, lit the jostick and placed the camera on a tripod. I then used my flash off-camera with a snoot on, to focus the light on the smoke. The white one was achieved in PP, by converting the image to negative/inverted the colours, and then i used an adjustment brush to paint the colour onto the smoke.

My opinion is that the black background is much better. The colors really pop.

Great shots.

With the white back round, it looks like it's in water (very nice), in black I will agree the colors pop out very nice... well done, and great discussion and opinion, that's how we can observe and comment each others photos... this forum is Aok
