Hi Dennis,

It’s great that you liked.
This is easy to do. Just put the camera in a tripod and use the zoom wile the camera is taking the shot. In this case you are looking to the same candle but because of the zoom effect one appears to be closer to the camera than the other. The fire trail appears because the slow speed used (10 seconds).
To avoid an over exposure in the candle flame I used f11, a ND filter and a CP filter.

Regards
Cruz

Bold use of border.I tried varying it in PSE but came back to this as best.
And the image is very creative.
Excuse my simplicity, how did you do this?
