 For those who don't know a quaich is an old Scottish drinking vessel used to share a dram of whisky when welcoming friends; the one in the picture was given to me by my cousin after I played the piano at her wedding.

The photo was taken on the coffee table in my lounge on a dark piece of fabric with ambient light provided by standard lamp with paper shade in corner of the room. The flame effect was created by moving a candle above the quaich for 5 seconds or so and the "fairies" are the sparks from a disposable lighter.

No PP except slight adjustment of curves and resizing.

I like the idea. The streaks to the right may be a bit distracting. Overall, a nice picture
