# TJ: can i have some constructive criticism of this smoke... i'm trying to work out how to fake smoke in photoshop

# Excellent smoke.
Thick and choking. Though not very wispy. But if thick and choking is the effect you were after, this smoke excels.

# Looks
pretty good to me, though I don't know what I'm talking about

# Looks good..
you may want to fade the dark outline on the upper right a bit. You want to match where the sunlight is coming from. Otherwise ace.

# Exactly what I was going to comment on, other than that I'd say it looks real.

# looks good to my untrained eye

# the problem is
i looked at real smoke for inspiration... and that looks like it's been smeared a bit too ;)

# I guess
the point about fading the shadow in the top right is true enough, since by the time the smoke had got that far up I'd expect it to have spread out a bit and got thinner.

# Could be a bit darker....

# Seconded
The lighting on the smoke isn't quite right compared to the colours in the sky and water. this makes it look a bit too white, so it stands out from the background too much, making it appear closer than the object from which it is emanating. Add in a very slight blue overlay to the smoke, and then a small mount of pink, and blur the extreme right-hand edge a bit more - that should do it...

# Hmmmm...
It looks pretty good to me. Even if it IS fake you can still see that it represents smoke! ... maybe a bit too heavy on the shading in some parts but the rest of it is convincing. Well done!
