After looking at some fantastic photo manipulations of water, we thought we'd turn our attention to the art of smoke. Today, we've rounded up a stunning collection of photos that show how digital artists can change its look and shape to take on different but all too familiar forms. In their own, unique and ingenious ways, they've given us a newfound appreciation for smoke's wispy, cloud-like appearance, showing us that it's possible to take something quite ordinary and make it appear magical, surreal, and even extraordinary.
