I don't know if you wanted it this way but it is to blurred for me. Nice colors and I would of liked to see it in focus or some detail.

If you're going to use the word "focus" in your title, it's probably a good idea to make the photo as crisp as possible. As it stands, this is so blurry that I can't tell that it's a flame.
