Faux Smoke (part 1)

Ok - I think we'll stick with the abstract stuff today.
A while back, I saw this video from Adorama:
I decided to keep things a bit simpler than Mark did. My setup (which I forgot to take a photo of) consisted of just a clear drinking glass inside our light tent with a single strobe. I used my 100mm macro lens to allow me to move in close enough to eliminate the edges of the glass.
What do you think of the results?
Technical Data: Canon EOS 7D, Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM, 1/200 sec at f/22. Canon Speedlight 580EX II flash in auto mode and wireless control. Image Stabilization on. ISO 100. RAW processing and edits in Adobe Camera Raw (mouseover for original)
This one reminds me of an abstract painting of some bonsai. Regardless of what you see, I think the technique is pretty fun, and I'm sure I'll try it some more in the future.

I was actually going to give this a try also. Just never got around to it yet. I also heard you can get a glass container and put it in front of a monitor with a white screen! Good job on these.
