 This is my first challenge, so please be gentle! It's a glass of wine, with black backdrop with hookah smoke floating in it. I imported RAW,adjusted the levels a bit, did the negative through curves, and adjusted levels and hues once again.
I've only had my camera for a few months and am definitely learning, constructive criticism is highly appreciated!

... fire in the sky.

I think that the positive of this is a better picture with more interesting colours.
