Candle glow

I posted a version of this in the critique section and based upon peeper's suggestion, I've added a dark vignette. I like it even more now!


Critique post, if you'd like to compare.

This is very hot! I did look at the original; when you layered, did you effect/vignette to first or second image?

Thank you all!

Mr. Intesity, I shot in RAW so when I opened the photo in Adobe Camera Raw, I applied a light vignette on the first photo. Based upon peepers suggestion, I opened the RAW file again and applied a dark vignette. Although once I saved the first one, I could have applied a layer to it but I thought it easier to just open the RAW file and do it there. So each photo has a vignette, the first has a light one while this one has a dark one.

Thanks afterglow. If you'd like to see the first one, there's a link in this post to the critique where I originally posted it.

Thanx for taking the time, I need a tutorial on layers for GIMP- the one i'm reading leaves me hanging...look at my attempt at WWYD and you can see I do everything right on the image- time to step it up.
