Beautifully captured, sergio. Between you and Vikas you are the smoke capture kings :-) The trail of smoke is such a beautiful pleasing color to the eye, with just the right amount of color saturation. Clever title and idea. Markjay

"the vice has a vice?" this definetly should have been the title. Next time for sure i'll talk to you before naming a shot.
Thanks everybody!.

WOW! I love this, Sergio!! How on earth do you get the smoke to look like that? The way the light hits the beautiful blue smoke just makes it look 3-dimensional. And the vice is very clever. Superb!! -- Jeannie (jburly)

Oh, so the vice has a vice? LOL! Funny. Man, that's one nasty, bitter looking tool. Nice job. ~ Lonint

I love the light and color of the smoke itself and the highlight on the cigarette. And the highlights on the vice-grips are great. When you look at the "mouth" of the vice-grips, you can almost see a human expression there. Sort of the look I remember seeing on people's faces when they're doing something with their hands so the cigarette has to stay in their mouth but the smoke is blowing back into their eye and there's nothing they can do about it. Kind of a smoker's grimace. Even though I detest cigarettes, I love this photo.

Good one again Sergio. I like the way the smoke bends and curves. Just superb! -Cat

Lovely shot, I really like photograhps with smoke in them (God knows have done loads myself). This one is beautifully executed. Cheers, Vikas.

I hate cigarettes, but you've captured the smoke beautifully here. The quality of your work is consistantly very high, so it can only be a matter of time before you win one these challenges... --Olaf.dk
