Having fun with the GIMP (photo manipulation)

So, I was bored and made a sig pic for another forum.

Then I got to thinking, "Ya know, flashlights look kinda like missiles."

So, I came up with this, it was my first shot so be kind.

Wow, I kinda thought at least 'someone' would think this is neat.

I had to blur the picture a bit. I started out with it now blurred but it didn't look right so I did the blur to add some depth of field.

Yeah, it worked surprisedly well. Also, you couldn't picked a better picture; very little shadows in that picture to give away the composition.

Maybe matching the color temp on the flashlight's highlight with the picture will help?

The flaming flashlight doesn't do much for me, but your sig pic is very nice.
