Lady in The Smoke Illusion
May 25, 2007 by Vurdlak
Thanks to Donna, we got ourselves beautiful piece of art by Avi Ornstein. What seems as ordinary smoking cigar in an ashtray, actually holds a lovely lady's figure. Check out the smoke... could it be only coincidence? I don't think so! I first thought it was a painting, but then figured there is special effect made by photographers, so that the captured photo looks like a painting. The smoke itself looks very ordinary, and in theory could easily form this kind of figure. In reality, the chances are slim. Specially when you think someone waited for the smoke to form some kind of figure and then shoot it. What are your thoughts on this one? Still, a marvelous piece of illusion.
Donna Strouse: "I got this image of the lady/smoke from a power point slide show. I thought it was very fitting for your site and thought you might be able to use it. if not, I understand. I just wanted to share. Anyway, I've really enjoyed the illusions you post."

Nice Illusion!
Must be a painting or photoshop, but it's a fantastic job however they did it!
Im not that great a illustrator, but I had made a very similar piece about a year ago.
Look here...
I have no clue how it's done but at first glance the girls hairline along her upper left looks just like a portrait of George Washinton gazing upwards at an angle!
The woman in the smoke is Marilyn Monroe and I think it could possibly be a picture off the set of "Something's Gotta Give." Seriously, check it out.
you can do better, its just 2 obvious.
haha! yh its probs a panting.
amazing!!!!!!!!!:D
oh and *Pachanka* i luv ur pic dat u drew.
Dang! She is hot!
i think definently true.
This is a truely capsizing foto that must have takin a tremendous amount of effort to get a picture of, and only a true,patient, gentle, and expierianced photographer could have captured the rare moment of action
you can see that the lady part of the picture, all around it, is pixilated. Meaning the resolution doesnt match, hardly. It's a 'photoshop' job. Although done poorly, it is a fun idea.
Yea... i am pretty sure this is fake...... i am not saying its not possible, but this illusion is definitely a fake
stupid! so its a girl whats the big deal?!
check out a painting by Louis Icart, called Illusion. Its much better, as a painting.
I kinda think it's airbrushed because some parts look painted smooth, but at the same time it has that realistic look to it. Nevertheless it look pretty good.
i think i can do that in photoshop
photoshop,illustrator, painting whatEVA. I need this as a good sized picture for a bar yet to be built! Great illusion, as I've come to expect here. Often. Nice yob, and keep up the great work. You've got a nice & growing group of contributors, too!
Too bad the JPEG is compiled to somewhere around 80%, the smoke's pixeled. Besides that, smoke doesn't come from óne point out of the sigar ;)
But at first glance: It's a very nice illusion, you have to look good to see it's really a photoshop.
Not an illusion, it's art.
Looks like airbrush, nice, a sort of Marilyn/Spirit of Ecstasy. :)
idk... i saw the woman at first glance
It's cool cause when you 1st look at it, you think it's photoshop,but it's actually a painting cause the cigarette is obviosly not real.
datz jus rubish watz so good about a woman in smoke
Say 'Hello' to a little sompin' called photoshop. FAKE+BORING=THIS ILLUSION!
u can tell its a painting coz theres a signature in the bottom left hand corner!! u didnt fool me with this one
