"Danse des plumes de fumée"

I this case I paired the original with a translated copy, including

layering artifacts. Your comments and suggestions for improvement or

variations in approach or composition are appreciated and welcomed.

Thank you for taking the time to offer your insights.

Yes, it is still a photo (montage) composed ot two versions of the original photo.

The original was shot with a black background using a studio strobe and colored gels. This composite was created from a negative of the original.
