Lighting could have been improved to avoid high ISOs and therefore lower noise levels. On Editing, the sharpening method used highlighted the noise even further.(unless of course this was intentional) ...its just me

Could have benefited more if the subject and the horizon where slightly off-center (Rule of Thirds). 4/10

Although overall editing seems to be pretty good, i find the color selection of the background a little off for my taste. 5/10

Recipe For A Hangover

Although most of the entries employ solitary images as their concepts, this one works for me and garners extra points for boldness in entering a more complex theme. Contrasts is the main weakness of this image, viewers eyes are lured away from the main subject to the empty space on the left because of high contrast against the dark bottles on the right.

Overall, I give this a 5/10 + 1 for concept 6/10

Great timing on the flame..The blue background works and provides good contrast to the image. The slight tilt improves composition as well. And finally, with the limitations imposed for its editing, i say this is entry is nicely done!
