Turbulent flow of stage fog visualized using a planar laser. This image uses a marked boundary technique: the particles of water and glycerin in the fog reflect the light of the laser so that the coils of fog appear blue while the air around them appears dark. I played around a lot with the editing of the image because I wanted to emphasize the ghostly or eerie look of the fog.

    There is so much motion to this image, you can really imagine the smoke curling like that.

    I really like the composition and the balance in this image, the two sides of the image really bounce off of each other. The sharpening of the color is also well-done.

    I like how it appears there is two smokes groups separating in the middle. There are really interesting vortices swirling at the top, as well as the mixing in the middle of the dense smoke. The image could almost be mirrored through this center line.
    The color edit is very nice, the white and blue mix is visually appealing.

    Great composition, in the crop you might consider emphasizing more of a centerline or diagonal.

    The individual vortices being visible is super cool looking. It is really organic and ghostly
