JUDGE COMMENTS:

"This photo is a brilliant display of creativity. The use of smoke combined with the skull's imagery creates an intriguing and captivating vibe. The black background perfectly complements the composition, drawing attention to the intricate details. The smoke delicately resting on the hat adds a touch of sophistication. Overall, a masterful piece that showcases both technical skill and artistic vision." —  Simone Ferretti


"Controlling smoke in frame can be really challenging because it has a mind of its own and is affected by movement, ambient wind and even your own breath, so to see a creative image in which the smoke is perfectly occluding the subject’s eyes in extremely satisfying and technically impressive. The lighting of the white smoke lends itself perfectly to the monochromatic nature of the image and it evokes the feeling of a Neo-noir painting, additionally the subtle lighting on the subject, hat and and suit jacket are all very well done and this image feels very balanced in it’s execution. Amazing work overall!" — Jon Simo
