Agree - could be a very sensuous woman - that's what came into my head straight away!!

Amin...How many shots did you take during your 'smoking' session? Did you intend to produce a sensual subject or was there an element of luck? Just curious/interested.
Have had a look at your gallery - love the many abstract photos.

Aiki, goggalee and kenty thank you very much
Now, jokes aside, sorry I couldn't help it, but truth is, in my personal case the way I look at it is like roller blades, you can't control it fully to the precise point you want to go by going in direct line but you can adapt and manouver them and find ways to always make it go whre you want. With smoke in particular there is an element of luck but there are so many applicable variables that based on physics you can try to partially make it do what you want. Remember smoke rises due to heat, the more heat you put above for example the quicker the smoke will rise, air-flow in the room affects a lot obviously, total stillness and then sudden movement of the body will affect the patterns. You can thicken the smoke emitted by various means, well you get the idea .
I just make use of various objects to attempt to manipulate it, and its all fun. Sometimes it works, others it just is plain boring smoke but I keep insisting with various ideas. Some of the objects I use are extremely strange so I hesitate even to mention , the things you can get smoke to do when you use for example shuttle cocks, hand held fans, spoons, screw drivers cheese graters well the list goes on .
And then there is the editing of it also, I must admit that the more I do of these the easier it gets. While in the beginning I would have 300 exposures taking almost 4 hours or more to come up with just one good shot nowadays when it comes to smoke in particular I just need ten or twenty at the most and I get what I want. Less puffs and quicker results ha .
This one is one of the collections of my sensual ladies that I have along with the ones in the bottom

Kenty, there is always an element of luck whenever I try to snap anything with my K20 , specially after a few drinks and puffs in my shed .Amin...How many shots did you take during your 'smoking' session?

I would say, the woman in #3 is even quite attractive - nice curves + pose and all. I'm surprised admin hasn't put an "adult content" tag on it yet!
Now I look forward to some bubble-erotica

Can anyone see what this image reminds of? , what does it look like to you?
I am wondering if this would look better in colour..
C & C as usual greatly appreciated.
