It's a beautiful, moody photo. I don't usualy like heavy post processing, but this one works for me.

This is nice. There's some story to this perhaps? A lot of sweat or glare visible on her face is a distraction for me and changes the mood of the image. Without sweat/glare: quite contemplation.
With sweat/glare: fear and anxiety.

Comment by Simms:
Trying to capture a flame whilst also trying to expose correctly for a subject lit by the same flame is a nightmare situation, the exposure here favours the model, thus blowing out any detail in the flame (which, apart from the small amount of blue at the base, looks like a white blob to me). However, the focus on the models eye is bang on, the colour is well controlled and the DOF is to die for.. a pretty good study that was always going to be tricky to expose for.
Good luck (either Mak or Hanae).
