This is an example of overlaying, a technique that has been in wide use for ages. Take a simple smoke plume, make a copy of it, flip the copy to the left or to the right and overlay it onto the original. This picture has the same plume six times, three facing left and three right.
I see three arches each with a gargoyle on top. The differences in the appearance of the gargoyles is due to the different amount of overlap.
This is a picture of smoke from a burning incense stick. Most smoke appears grey to the naked eye but there is more in a plume of smoke than we see at first glance. For this type of smoke art photo it is necessary to make adjustments in the digital darkroom to allow the natural beauty of the smoke to be revealed.
By post processing the image and adjusting such variables as colour temperature, saturation, contrast and any other setting that seems fitting to the artist, a richer vision of smoke can be created.
See Tips on photographing smoke for more a more detailed description of how to photograph smoke.
