I like the lacyness of this flame

I like seeing the images you create with a white background over the black background.  For me, it makes it easier to see some of the details better.     :)

I'm tending to like the white backgrounds more myself.

So far the white background seems to give the flames a more solid smokey feel, where a black background gives them more of a glowing plasma feel. I've done a couple with different background colors as well.

Obviously I'm just begining to learn what works when, I think a lot depends on the palette and the shape and feel of the flame itself, one flame may work really nicely with a colorful palette on a black background, where the next flame will only look good with a more subdued palette against a light background.

Of course in a couple of months I may totally disagree with what I just said   :P

Yes, I agree.  A good explanation of how the dark and light backgrounds affect a flame image.

I think the palette will most likely effect the choice of background over the shape/feel of the flame.  But for my own preferences, I tend to enjoy viewing them on a white background.    :)
