[Richard Hla]

These photos were taken at night at Lotus research Laboratory in China.The back lighting was by LED video light

I honestly expected a British car with an electrical fire.

the smoke looks good on the first one, but the flowers looks better on the last one.

I think the flowers aren't working because they look 'are' backlit. It's a weird look for this type of photo. It is very creative though, as I've never seen this type of image.

I think the bottom of the last one is pushing the highlights just past that point. But other than that well done. I love your work Richard.

I actually like #2 ...the whole thing is sort of unnatural but the 2nd one works in that regard ...I would name it Lab Flower or something like that ...

All very nice

I would try to pull the shadows of the flower so it is more visible

smoke give it a really nice mood
