Exposure compensated -1 step. Used a wine glass and a candle burning under it. Flame was produced with a stick of incense that had been just lit. Post processing, shanged color to orange zone and increased saturation. Touched up some overexposed areas with colors from the image. Colorized the flame to look more realistic.

Nice abstract. However, I'm put off by the appearance of the match. You hand held the match I'm assuming. If you would have found a way to hold the match in place with some kind of mechanism that would hold it very still it may have improved the overall quality of the image. I'm also put off by the writing at the bottom of the what ever it is in the background. Rotating that object so the writing was under the match might help. Remember in a set up shot such as this, attention to detail is KEY!

Neat idea, but I'm not sure it translated as well as it could have with different lighting. Also, the match is pretty OOF and the image is a bit grainy. I like the composition and like I said, it's a good idea.
First Impression: The very bright yellow hurts my eyes a bit. Very noisy and not too clear.
Was I fooled? Not sure what I am looking at here. I gather from your title that the center revolvy thingy is the sun, and the flame is to ignite it? Not sure man.
