 Small flat candle with a red card in the background with a few bits stuck to the card I put some glue on the card and placed it on the ground Then used suppressed flash and Macro.
Took a few shots and liked this one the most
Cropped it closer
Cloned the white flame to make it larger and touched up a few bits with the cloning tool , sharpened lightly added border, and downsized for loading lightly sharpened again
I hope it looks realistic I think it looks like HOT Fire from a volcano.

Is this really a volcano? How did you get it without being burnt to a crisp? Nice colors, good composition.

I am left wondering what it is. You have attempted a difficult task of getting all of the exposures at their best. With the intense light from the blast making the rest of the subject underexposed, you might have tried a shorter exposure with some added light on the foreground. 4
