The top of the arm looks a little bit jagged - maybe an increased file size would help? I'm not sure. I generally like borders like this one but here it seems to feel a bit like it is cutting off the arm. Aside from that, though it is a nice image. I like the colors and lighting, and especially how the flames seem to be softly dancing.

What an amazing combination of foreground and bckground. The "gleam" on the tooth at first looked like part of the streaks of fire. I like how the background is visible but not completely - how it fades out on the left side.

I think this is a *very* awesome image.

Very lovely patterns. The black smoke is interesting and creative. I would have liked to see just a *tiny* bit more of the object in the lower right, but that's not a big deal.

Reminds me of the scene in War of the Worlds where they're on the hill fighting...

The only thing I can see that I do not like is the long shadow from the figure - other than that I think this is a great shot.

I like the composition... I feel maybe better lighting in the background would have brought out the colors there. Overall a decent shot and a good take on the challenge.

Elegance

Wow, elegant indeed. I love how there is a clear line of where the flame starts - not something I've seen in a lot of shots. I think it helps add to the elegance, as well as the soft, almost silky feel of the flame.

Haha, great title. Maybe another one would have fit the mood of the photo better but this on certainly draws me in trying to spot the figure in the flame. I see it and it definitely makes for an interesting (in a good way) take on this concept!

Ah, there we go... A shot where there is orange glow inside. Good job with that, as I feel that shots of smoking things that aren't really glowing don't seem as much to fit the challenge.

I like the title and composition. Great lighting as I love how the bottom part blends into the background. The smoke rising is just the right final touch.

A very fitting title. I love how the orange/yellow interact with the black to create interesting patterns.

Sky on Fire

This is a neat shot because the clouds aren't just colored orange but actually resemble flames somewhat.
