Daylight lamps used and edited curves in PS Camera RAW
ISO200 f/5.6 1/50 55m
post challenge remarks:
Thank you to all who voted for this entry. I am delighted with a top 20 spot. For those who queried the validity of the shot let me say that while I admit it is somewhat over processed, the only editing was done by manipulating the curves in Photoshop camera RAW and I liked the colors and lighting that this highlighted. It was also validated by the site as an acceptable edit within the rules of basic editing - thanks again for your comments!

Nice 'play on photo', hahah well done overall and I like the smoke it from the flame gives it a nice effect. However it seems a bit over processed in my opinion but that's just me.
The fire and color are interesting. I think this one takes a few seconds to get an appreciation for the luminance even though it was generated in post.
