Smoke Rose

Once again this is a photographed smoke from an incense.
Believe it or not I did very little to this to get it this way. I did paint out with a black brush some on the top end to get rid of some of the plume that gathered at the top but the original shape of stem and rose was there already. That is why I picked this shot to do "The Rose". I also added the color with Nik Color Efex Pro 4.0 Bi-color filter. After that it was a little Hue/Sat and Curves to finalize it.

Post Processing:
>Duplicate Layer
>Black Brush-Brush out areas not wanted (in this case top area plume)
>Nik Color Efex Pro 4.0-Bi-Color filter to add Green and Red
>Adjustment Layer-Hue/Sat Green-Saturation and intensify color
>Adjustment Layer-Hue/Sat Red-Saturation and intensify color
>Adjustment Layer-Curves for final contrasts
>Cropped, framed and sized for posting
