Sage

Sage
For healing body and soul.

Besides the aromatherapy affects, sage smoke has long been used by indigenous people (indians) of North and South America as a cleansing for home and body. It is a part of many tribal ceremonies.

Sage is one of the most important Native American ceremonial plants, used by many tribes as an incense and purifying herb. Sweetgrass symbolizes protection and healing in many Native cultures, and is considered to drive out evil influences and ward off bad luck. Sage is burned as a spiritual cleanser before many traditional ceremonies, and is also one of the herbs frequently included in medicine bundles and amulets.

Nice!*****

I say a little more tweaking with photo editor to make the smoke and shadow more visible could work. But that of course also much depends on monitor one uses. But on my monitor the exposure looks very dark and the fine details are difficult to see.

If you are familiar with curves tool, I recommend trying some fine tuning with it. Here's tutorial for curves tool on PicMonkey editor, which can be used here at ipernity via menu on right:

I recommend testing the presets there on curves tool, and do notice one can save the image also as a new version ;-)

On my monitor and on my phone (which is where I look at my photos for the final test, the smoke is where I want it. Subtle. I am very adept at photoshop, their curves tool, layers, masking and RAW. Thanks for the input though.

And I probably have a very poor display on my laptop ;-)

ein sehr schönes minimalistisches Foto! Ich musste "Sage" erst übersetzen. Warum räuchert man ihn? Ich kenne das kraut eher als Tee und Bonbons

The sight alone is already very reassuring. Too bad that one can not smell the scent on the computer. I would have liked to try it, because I also don't know this healing smoke. A very atmospheric picture!

A minimal presentation and I like that in a picture.

I goggled sage as I wasn't aware of it's benefits and it's quite a power house. Learned something new today.

For those who are interested the link below has good information.

like the minimal approach, light and smoke, very good. But somehow the black pipelike on the left is disturbing.
