Dragon fruit, red onions, cauliflower for feet, an indoor sparkler and a bonsai tree.
Curves to darken the background, healing brush to remove a bit of the sparkler's stem, dodge & burn, selective USM.

It too me a second to get what was going on here. This was a cool concept espcecially with the "head" but I think it needed to be developed more. Maybe alternate the onions with the cauliflower for the body and put celery for the legs or something? As it is now no one would see a dragon without knowing the title and really looking for it. I'd probably have put the flame more towards the camera and have the body behind somewhat out of focus to add more emphasis on the fire.
OK, maybe I am picky being a former chef..but this composition makes no sense...why is there a sparkler in the dragon fruit? Why would you put cauliflower with it? And why is the bonzai tree stuck in the back?
You captured some nice colours, but the comp is too much for me ...
