Subnitting early, not wanting to spend much time or do anything clever for this one for a) I am away all weekend, and b) don't want to risk burning my house down.
Think I will leave this as it is.
Post - hardly any PS, touch of saturation and sharpening and NI. The flames were done by spraying the inside of the glass with hairspray.

I'm really curious about how you got the shot with the flaming wine glass you submitted for the fire challenge on DPChallenge. You obviously set this up on a black background in a studio. Was the flame the only source of light or did you have another light source?
Absolute beautiful capture of the vibrant hues in the flames. The flames really gives you a sense of the contour of the glass. Love the great highlights on the rim of the glass and the base. The spotlight on the bottom adds an excellent touch to the composition. "10"
Like the colors on the glass produced by the flame and also the reflections under above and below the stem. The flames is not very focused, which I understand but it is just a bit too blurry I guess because of its movement during the exposure. Oh well. Fairly nice otherwise and I do love those reflections.
Almost entered one eerilly similar to this, even down to the shape of the flame. I'll post it after the challenge. Maybe nitpicking, but it is slightly off centre and rotated to the right - I don't think you intended it to be this way. Otherwise its a good image. Did you use rubbing alcohol?
