The edges of the fire look fake, over contrasted (as does the faint dark orangish background.

Thanks for all your comments, I guess 4.2 is a decent starting point. If I get time I may retake the picture using your suggestions (focus is a pretty basic one lol). Looking forward to your comments in the fire challenge.

An interesting texture, would have liked to see a bit more at the top perhaps.

Comment by jonpink:
over exposed by quite a bit - levels could fix it.

The picture looks like the color is faded. No real crispness to it.

This is a very nice composition for the challenge. The colors are very dull though. I think that this might be a lighting issue, but it could just be that it needs a boost in levels... As far as the textures go, you need to be just a bit more creative in the lighting. Instead of from above, shine your lights in from the side. This would help to create more shadows and thus more depth.
