Okay PC...actually it is not difficult to do.
I just finished mine:
It is a bit messy but okay, it is only a try to show you what you must do.
1. Open a pic of a candle. It can be simple one. I used a simple pic of a boring candle.
2. Copy the layer. Ctrl + j.
3. Select a brush and make sure the foreground color is black. Now paint over the flame because you don't want flame parts coming through your work.
4. Open a pic of water. It doesn't matter what as long as it is not a complete lake but a pic with waterdrops etc.
5. Copy it.
6. Make a selection of the part you want to be the flame instead of the original flame.
7. This is a bit tricky. You have to make fit the way you want it.
8. Use eraser tool, blending options or whatever you ant. I used no blending options but I did use the eraser tool. And I erased all parts which were not important.
9. Once you are satisfied and the waterflame is finished, you can save your work.
One note...you can also start with a new layer and fill it with the colors you want to give it a better effect. Then you can erase the background of the original candle pic.
PC and Dani, thank you but I don't know if I can be called a Photoshop master Thanks to you too Fern and Audrey. The Frodo pic was not difficult to make. I used a pic of a car and I pasted Frodo in the mirror and I changed the opacity to 75 % and yes...he looks a bit scary in the car. Hobbits should have gone by car much earlier.

Sauron ordered a sodawater but he got a Frodo drink. This is not for consumption. It is only to watch the future
oh, i see .then his palantir must be out of order?

Pippin played with one, Denethor played soccer with the other one and Sauron dropped his palantir. So, now he must use the phone or just a simple glass
i dont remember reading that... it must have been in vanessa's anotaited edition
i want to play soccer with denethor
saura should use the phone, its slightly more high-tech

He still doesn't know how to use the buttons. He always wonders why his cell phones are all damaged by fire
he must summon saruman to make him a custom one that doesnt melt due to intense temperatures

Or he must put his hands in the water before using the cell phones Maybe some ice will do him any good
Maybe some ice will do him any good

PC, I am already curious about your results I have no doubts you are going to make a great piece out of it. It was a try and I wasn't completely satisfied but it was better than I thought.
@Ferny, I don't know...Jadis recently opened a store herself
