 This is a candle with a red background, I know it's crappy, but I just wanted to have something posted. There is also a big chance that this image will be flagged as edited beyond basic editing, but it is not ... I have merely used different hue and colour balances to make things look like this ... personally, I find it too grainy, but there was nothing I could do about that without leaving the basic edicitng rules.

Back to comment: You choose a tough subject to photograph for this challenge. The flame looks a bit over exposed and the post processing makes the dark areas of the background look like they were spray painted. I would also suggest you read up on the rule of thirds, as the centering of the flame in the image is one of the least interesting locations you could have put it.
