I have a sneaking suspicion that you've been playing with that Image Leigh, what program are you using to edit your work and would you be open to a suggestion or 2?

Hi mate, I use PShop 7, I have the latest CS version also, I think CS Sux a major Lemon, PS7s interface is much more user friendly and less of a minefield to navigate.
I have one suggestion for now & a tip, more to come if you want them, Your flame effect, well executed & I can see your thinking on it, perhaps a you should lightly go over the finalised flame with a soft medium dodge tool brush set at 15% & highlights, lightly touching in from forward flame area to midway thru flame, this will bring the orange up to near yellow with hints of brite white without loosing the orange on the outer areas, this would enhance the flame effect,( the hotter the burn, the lighter the flame).

Engine fires almost always burn hot at point of origin(Usually a ruptured oil sump casing or supply line) therefore lighter flames toward the fires origin & engine area venting, venting & open case areas allow oxygen to access the burn increasing its ferocity Please Note: Fuel Fires burn differently, less smoke, minimal burn time to an inevitable catastrophic fuel resevoir explosion, usually results in a lost aircraft, oil fires however have a much better Aircraft survival rate, slower burn etc.


Further to this, use the burn tool set at say 15% & midtones to lightly trace around the back end of the flame, this will darken it & enhance the smoke effect, if done correctly this can appear to look like high temprature or burning oil smoke, which you would expect from an engine fire


Lil tip for smoke. soft brush medium size/spraypaint brown/black opacity 85%, dot a haphazard line with your brush, then add a pattern to the layer, go thru all the patterns which are fully variable till you find the variable which suits , alter opacity & size of pattern to suit , makes a tremendous smoke effect

If you would like me to post shots of the sequence for 'Smoke' in Photoshop 7 for better reference and understanding, let me know, can knock some up no probs
Hope it helps
Regards
