The burning incense is on the left third of the picture.
I have taken this picture at Man Mo Temple, Hong Kong adopting a slow speed.
The smoke just floated from the left to the right side of the picture, blurring the background and giving it a sense of motion.

Fantastic effect of the smoke, great shot.
Thanks for the kind words!
Michael, I love this image … the blurriness … the softness! And how you have captured the smoke. One of you best ….
Hi Viveka, if you have the time, you may like to stroll Hollywood Road ( after getting up there by the escalators) and walk to the temple!
Michael, I have a walking map over
the Central & Western district – I see where the Man Mo Temple is … so I will visit.
Actually, you don’t have to walk a lot, simply take the Central Hillside Escalators (free of charge) and get off at Hollywood road, there are a lot of antique shops as well as temple on that street, they are quite interesting!
Okay … there is suppose to be loads of interesting building and parks .. in that area too. Thanks Michael. https://widgets.wp.com/notifications/1701215053#
