You are wonderful Kiki - and I mean it - actually the grey smoke looked ok with the earlier colour of the bottle - this is what comes out of hurried effort to change without looking at the total picture - Debi

If I had two wishes, I wish the smoke was a wee bit bluer.. Like the hue along lower right side of the vases "neck" but perhaps not as saturated. And that the frames size was equally wide/tall on all sides. (Go ahead.. just say it.. I'm awful.)
Apart from that nitpicking.. it's a beautiful vase and picture, and a perfect match to the ones in the original.

Yes the one from the DP thread I like best Debi.

The original looks very nice.

Nice idea. Not sure about the colors though.. and the original doesn't look bad at all to me?!! Perhaps the small size fools me. I wonder if I would have kept some glossy highlights though, to keep a more "glassy" look.

Thanks Guys. This a composite like the orginal - placed the smoke on a separate layer and moved it around until I like dthe way it looked. Masked out the overlapping portion.

Rod: Knew you would comment on the frame :D . The light was very bad I had to do a lot of PP to make something out of this. Even the colur had to be changed. I must get some proper lights.

Here is the original

I agree with Mikey. Well done capture of the smoke and simple color scheme. -tv

I was going to comment on the silly frame but I realised you copied the original. You're forgiven:-)
Nicely done megirl but the vase could be sharper. The smoke looks really good.

Very cool.

I like that you can see the swirl starting from within the vase and then it continues up outside the frame. Nice take on the original three wishes!
One for me would be good.... I'll keep wishing..

I like this better than the original you based it on. The simplicity gets the nod from here. Cheers, -mikey

needs a lot more work. But I don't think I will get around to any other pic this time around - Debi

love the smoke - and the fact that it continues through the frame but who did it and what is it imitating - can you give us some clues?...claire
