SecondedThe 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...
