Oooh, The Treachery of Images (La trahison des images). I love it when I get to pretend that I’m a bit of an intellectual. René, this one is for you!

Beautifully captured, Cardinal. Did you do much processing on this?
Thanks Richard. Only minor adjustments to the raw file. Added some contrast and brightened it a bit. If you click the image and then click the image again you should see two versions. One of them is SOOC.
What’s SOOC?
Straight Out Of Camera.
Aha!
fumée tue!!
Yes it does, but the worst problem is the awful smell.
And I was going to add how I just love the smell of pipe-smoke!
I can see you with this pipe in your mouth!
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
I don’t smoke. Stopped smoking many years ago. Only occasionally I smoke a narghile with some fruit tobacco when we’re out barbecuing during the summer.
Great work CG, it has your name written all over it, and goes so well with your image!
It does! I haven’t thought of that. Maybe I’ll do some photoshopping??
