Thanks Powell. The slight color difference is probably due to more flash lighting on the f22 versions, particularly at the top of the glass. I could cool off the f2.5 version in curves. I could have done it in conversion as well but elected not to because I wanted to keep the flame color very warm. I may look again at some PS adjustment. I'm not going back to RAW. Too much retouching of reflections on this one.
