Thanks for resizing the pic

The flame you see is the afterburner lit (behind the engine turbine) and is typical for an afterburning engine at high power.

Most flames that you may see in the back end of non-afterburning engine under power are abnormal and pretty much signal a sudden loss of power while the flame is visible.

Flames during startup or shutdown are completely different thing,
