that's the beauty of these challenges - you can always try again based on the comments posted.
The concept is great however the long exposure does sort of kill it. Have you thought of just a single candle like flame coming out of the bottle and a black background? That would show the flame off, the intent would be clear and you can play with the lighting to make the bottle clearer.

In review, I think that the flame would have looked better during the daytime; simply because I was in a dark alley and I had to use a longer exposure. Not a real molotov; only water in the bottle, although the flame is real. I took about 6 takes and this was the very last one; as I was running out of rags and water for the bottle.
