That is very cool Jonathon. What ever made you think about doing this? I really like the high-key nature of it.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the nice comments.
Walt- While experimenting with the smoke trails I reached out and put my finger in the stream. I thought it was a cool affect so I tried a spoon. Used some books to elavate the spoon along with vise grips holding it and a really bright work light shining from below.

Very cool shot . . . I don't know if I would have quite figured it out without your explanation. It's interesting how the smoke hits the underside of the spoon. Good BW conversion as well.
