Fantastic, although I am not usually inclined to likeing center compositions, I think this however works really well.

greetings from the critique club!

i really like the concept of this shot overall. the fire and water are both very zen, and it was a good idea to try to incorporate them both.

the colors are great, and the ripples were captured well. i think the biggest downfall of this shot is that the candle it out of focus. focus is the most important thing i look for in a shot -- no focus = bad score, no matter how cool the image "could" be. in the future, you could try to affix the candle in place with a toothpick or something to keep it in place while the water moves.

a little bit more diffuse light on the lighting of the scene would help soften everything more as well, and make it more "zen" like.

overall a good idea. with a bit more elbow grease it could be a wonderful composition.

A touch of vignetteing in the top corner may hurt for a better score.

The reflection of the bird is just magical.....The colors you have captured are so rich in the feathers and also the water. I think you should be very happy with this image. It almost looks like glass.

I agree what others said about the background but beyond that you did a great job of making the subject stand out. The image is also nice and crisp.

Great action, but the background takes a lot away from it.
