Now that's one that I don't see no matter how many times I look. Rotated 90 degrees counter clockwise I see a dancer though.

I like them both. What did you use to create the smoke?
The colors look great on these.

are you using a something to catch the smoke and then releasing it all at once to get the interesting shapes?
The last one is ghostly and very cool.

I just randomly create air currents to change the flow of the smoke and try to capture it when It is most interesting
