This is very cool. Just the right amount of highlights in the reflection to bring out the depth of the crystal. Filling in for Kev, I'll say, "You're glass is tipping a wee bit, lad. But maybe you are used to seeing it that way. Wink

"

I assume the symmetrical placement and coloring of the smoke was done in post process?

Yeah, straighten up that glass - will ya Smile

IF I remember correctly...in order to make a smoke shot really work...I think you need to place a back-light down low behind the subject and kinda dairect it onto the smoke...which will illuminate it...giving it that sorta ghosty vibe.
In essense, similar to a backdrop hairlight on a portrait shoot.
IF you get wot I mean.
