Extraordinary--My apologies for the description of your picture. I'm afraid my vocabulary just isn't good enough to describe this.

This really is amazing MCsaba. I've never seen anything quite like it actually. - Albert

It's surreal and close to perfect. I have problems in seeing this as a photo or a sculpture! Just awesome!

This ought to be hanging in an art museum (not that the art museums around here would accept anything this good). - Warren

Thanks. As certainly you assume, the "ebryo" is from a different shot, but I thought it is right to include it to enforce and "fill" the "belly" and it makes the "mother" stonger to feel. There is very little processing on the woman otherwise, nothing on the body and just a little cleaning of pale shreds around the head (the original would be also fine imho), thus the picture is mainly luck and good timing. I have a couple of other similar smoke pictures, I do not know why, but those usually form women. MCsaba

This is quite extraordinary on every level. One rarely sees a picture so close to perfection. So come on: how did you do it cos I don't believe it was just luck! Tim

That is a wonderful image. I love how you captured the "humanness" in the smoke.
