Great portrait, nice light..

It is a steam not smoke.

@Elena Pencheva - To be honest, nobody really knows how hard it was to take this photograph, just me and crew :) Believe me this cat was not "mild"... "Sphynx" does not behave like let's say "average" cat especially in foreign environmet.

Hello everybody,
thank you for the close analyzing of this photo, but to end speculations: The cat is real, and so is the model. There is no photo montage or photoshop compositing, just framed to square format. It is one shot, which was hard enough to get with this hyperactive cat. Also nothing was changed on the eyes to make them look bigger or whatever. The original intention was to have it look like those old oil paintings.
To John A: The photos on my web page should show everything I am doing in photography, and should not be mistaken as my artistical portfolio. I agree with you, but I am simply not lucky enough to be able to live from my conceptual photos.
Thanks again to everybody who shares friendly interest and commenting on this photo.
