Wonderful composition, Tim. You give great emphasis to the spiritual with the flame, the ascending smoke, and the outreaching arms occupying the majority of the image. However, you have included a bit of rooftop which also gives this image a sense of history.

In this one I did use some dodge and burn techniques to highlight the smoke. I am pleased it worked out.

As if the incense smoke is drawn into the temple by spirits. Huge image, Tim!
