The fire is a lightsource and that means the shadows are kinda wrong. Except that it's a really nice pic.

yeah docx i struggled a little with the placement of the flame and lighting effects. since the original image had the sun coming from the front, i worked under the guise of the moon lighting from the front. very tricky to get the lighting effect from the flame just right

You could add a lens flare inside the flame, then overlay a copy of the flame to cover the lens flare, still leaving the lighting effect.
