Smile "Extinguished Essence" Series

Awesome idea! i like 1 the best.. on #3 more in focus would have been pretty sweet. Good work!

whats the chances of getting the smoke to come from his eyes? or something similar!!!

Thanks for the comment and praise!

I wasn't sure if many people would be into the "dark mood" photos, still not too sure actually! But, I do get a good amount of praises on these to others i have shown these to.

#1 is my favorite one also, and in #3 I was putting all focus on the candle to see how it'd look.

And in #2 it was pretty nifty of the smoke to take that form in which it looks like it's coming from the skull's eyes.

I like the candle and the pocket watch.

Well, I like flowers too... I posted a photo of a rose in the "Nature & Animals" section.
