Add a flame to a candle in Gimp

I dont use Gimp much and was looking to find a way to add a flame to a candle in a photo. thanks in advance

If you want to to be photo realistic, that’s going to require a lot of skill you’d think.

Adding a flame is easy. Implementing the change in lighting all around can be a lot more complicated. What does the picture look like?

Is it best that I send a link to a shared drive for the photo in question ?

You can attach the picture here (keep it under 1920*1080).
