Creative idea fairly well executed. I find the twigs distracting.

Fire Red Berries

Doesn't convey fire to me, not even the color. It might be an interesting photo if more of it was in focus.

Lighting a Match

The overall lack of focus obscures the message of this photo.

Great composition, but the flame doesn't look real.

Kimberly in the 'Golden Hour'

Greetings from the Critique Club!

The message
This is a great photo of a beautiful and vivacious woman. The outdoor setting suits her well. It doesn't quite catch the fabled "decisive moment"; her smile seems slightly forced. This gives it a bit of a "snapshotish" feeling--a photo that is well appreciated by those that know her, but doesn't make a real connection to strangers.

Creative choices
The "Golden Hour" lighting gives a great warm color to the subject. It also casts strong shadows that show the form of her face. There is enough ambient light (or perhaps you used a reflector?) to prevent the shadows from being too black. The point of view is complementary and works well here. Sharpness is just right. The landscape format is unusual for a portrait, but works well here to supply context and gives the image a more relaxed feeling.

Technical aspects
This image is technically perfect. Focus, exposure, color balance, etc. are all just right.

I think this wouild have worked better if the music and rose were at the bottom, with the keys extending to the top of the image.

The black background makes this image very striking. But the center of interest is on the flowers, not the black.

Perfect capture of the texture of the leather and form of the gloves, with some nice contrasting elements and a surprise.
