Cute!
I think you could cool the white balance down a bit to make it look a little more natural. Also I would crop the top down to just above the lamp. This would cause the back ground to be less distracting.

Comment by Yo_Spiff:
An awfully cute kid. Looks like she is trying to appear innocent. Harsh flash and a slight color cast are a problem for this shot. I try to avoid forward facing on-camera flash at all costs. I'll bet this would have worked out nicely with the use of existing room light. (You would certainly need to use a tripod, however.)

Comment by photokariangel:
the lion isnt very sharp, and more use of the actual window would have helped. on the plus side, the colors are great. Very rich and deep

First Impressions
Seems to meet the Challenge. Quite good symmetry. Perhaps could have been enhanced by some cloning out of minor issues here and there.

Photograph Information, Technicals & Composition Review
A slighty deeper DOF would have allowed the flames (fire) to become more apparent.

Compositionally, don't mind the front on aspect, but perhaps a slightly tighter crop would have evoked a feeling of being 'in front of' this fire more. But depends what you were aiming for.

Comments, Score & Placement Review
61/96 and a score of 5.26 is a fairly good score for an entry that ended up in the bottom third.

Your commenters don't really give much indication of what they felt could have improved the image, save for perhaps the first comment.

Summary
I wonder about a more 'level' point of view/perspective, whether this may have given the image an edge. That coupled with the deeper depth of field, as mentioned above, would likely have produced a stronger image for this Challenge.

Comment by kaiser_chief:
The window in this image is a negative, and not a positive. The refelcting lines across the image are just a massive distraction, and interupts the entire flow of the image here. Even the crop is a little tight on the right hand side of the image.........
