I have seen better composites from you and this may be my least favorite of them all. I feel like some of the elements have not been merged together smoothly, especially the burning books in the air, it looks too much like they were pasted in there because their lighting, brightness, and sharpness don't quite match with the rest of the image. It took me awhile to figure out what the image was trying to say because the books are not clearly visible at all which is what this image is all about ... burning books. I am sure this was partly due to the limited image size (only 800 pixels), but I would have placed a book much, much closer and larger to the viewer in order for the viewer to understand immediately books are the main thing we are talking about here instead of searching for them mainly in the darkness. Fire could have been better too. Still great job in the short amount of time that you had and congrats on the blue and I hope you don't mind some critiques from me.

She is a great model and I love this shot! Did you carry your lighting with you? How did you light her? Btw, I would have tried to avoid using such a wide angle lens for this. It has distorted her right foot a bit too much.

Lovely capture. I think if you had left a little bit of shadows at the table legs, it would look a little more natural. Currently it feels like the table is floating in the air.
