Just not sharp enough to score. Also, I think the strong contrast works against this type of 'soft' subject. Moms and babies are often shot using very soft focus and sometimes soft filters.

Beautiful fire, especially the colour and the texture of the flame. Your modle is overlit by the flash and it seems to have spoiled that soft glow that a fire gemerates. That light makes us feel warm and really relate to the pic.

A way around this is to bounce your flash off the ceiling or if you can set it manually, just let it use a weak 'fill'. I'm guessing that just the fire by itself ddin't throw enough

What a sad social commentary :) If you'd managed to get all of the foreground pills in focus too this would be a winner. Since you couldn't, I would have taken away those elements that were OOF
