Nice "tree" Nico! :-) I like the effect of the light and smoke machine, looks like the aftermath of a fire! :-) CJ

sometimes it's fun to try again what you've done before, Nico. This isn't exactly the same and I'm sure there was something you learned from the first take that contributed to this shot being what it is. As to whether you leave it here, that's your call, but I like it. Penny Street

Thanks for the kind feedback. Credit to my younger son for suggesting that we switch on the smoke machine. I was planning to stick to a coloured backdrop, but the shot would not have been the same, in my opinion. I kind-of feel this is too close to something I did on a previous occasion (Challenge 81 - Simplicity) ( http://www.pbase.com/cslr_challenge/image/70731867 )... so I might end up trying to find something a little less copy-cat, to be honest. Many thanks again. Regards Nico
