YOUNG MALE MALAYAN TIGER
These are a highly endangered species, and the rescue center has this young male tiger, which they hope will breed with their already existing female Malayan tiger.

BLACK LEOPARD
A new arrival at the rescue center. She was very friendly and very flirty, rolling about on her back and meowing, then staring at you as if she might be hungry. A magnificently beautiful animal

I like this concept however I think it would have been much better to have the smoke come from her side instead of behind her. also, move it further away so it would be lighter and not so heavy. This would place her in the smoke and not just have it as a part of the background.
It was really hard to control the smoke. It was through the side but blown to the back of her. Some images, smoke went in front and made it really soft. I’ll need to practice smoke more to get a better idea on how it would act. Thank you for comment. I take your advice on the next session with smoke.
If the smoke was blowing behind her, then move the source in front of her so it is blown into and around her. also move the source further away so it is not so heavy.
One last thing I just noticed, Photoshop out the fingers on her left hand that are sticking out from between her legs.
Thank you. I didn’t realize till now.
this is a stunning capture, the imperfection of the smoke makes this shot more life like, i love it
Thank you.
If the viewer is to be led to look at the girl then the smoke should not dominate half the photograph. I would diminish the brightness of the smoke to bring the viewers eyes back to the girl. Lighten the shadows on her tight side face and drop the brightness on the rest of her face.Sharpen the eyes, nostrils and lips. Perhaps lightening the dark background a little to give depth to the scene.And for me the shiny reflections off her body are too much. They need to stop pulling your eye to her torso. I want the entire girl to command the scene rather than components over powering it.
