I should try commenting when I'm more awake, heh.

But yes. I like this image a lot. :-)

The colors seem a bit flat to me but I think the composition is wonderful, and overall this is a good shot.

A tighter crop would have helped eliminate some of the background, which I find somewhat distracting. But I love the way she appears in different places at the same time - really cool.

Whoo! Awesome colors! I love the way this photo says both "hot" and "cool" at the same time. And great choice of border color as well.

Humming Bird

I would imagine it'd be hard to get a shot of a hummingbird. I like this one because the background is so rich and it really compliments the bird's colors. Of course the feeder obscures part of the subject but instead of being all bad, I think the feeder really adds something to the photo and makes it unique.

Focus on Natural Gas

Nice title... seems like a newspaper headline and I like how that is paired with such an abstract image. I like this... I don't think that it really shows "fire" (would not do that without your title) but I do think it's a nice abstract.

The Candle

Oh my goodness. So amazingly, amazingly wonderful. There are some things that I think voters as a whole will not like... maybe how the colors don't "pop" enough or maybe this part or that part needs to be in more focus or something else. But I think this is an outstanding shot. It meets the challenge in such a creative way. The colors, while understated, fit very well what the image is, I feel, trying to portray. The iris is dramatic but draws attention toward the reflection of the candle rather than keeping it all for itself.

So, to sum up... amazing.

(I personally would have cropped this really tight around the iris. But I think that's why I don't score very well, hehe ;-) This is totally not a criticism or complaint or anything... in fact I think you cropped it wonderfully. I hope all that makes sense.)

Awesome shot! I love the colors and the overall shape of the flame. I think your title is appropriate as there is so much motion and life in this photo. The white is a bit distracting for me, but not too bad.
