Candle in the Breeze

Outdoor candle been blown around by the breeze. I like the little wisp of flame at the top just about too extinguish itself.

The "flame" above the flame, along with the reflection in the melted wax are really interesting. Can you tell me how you got that effect? Thanks.

Awesome contrast! This is nicely artistic -- fav!

@granagringa I would like to say I have some great method but this is pretty much SOOC just edited to make the background darker (it was dark anyway) I think I was lucky that the wind separated the flame just as I pressed the shutter! I have a lot of other shots that look similar but lack that little crest of flame.

@rjb71 Nice to read that it is basically SOOC as that is how I work except for some very basic fixes. Now if we can only figure out how to do that stuff intentionally...Thanks.
