This really reminds me of Ricardo Legoretta's architectural style. The orange colors of his buildings are typical of Spanish?mexican architecture. Great use of colors to make this punch. Good luck!

Great catch!! My only nit is the vertical edge on the left is a distraction and could have been cropped out (equally on both sides) without negatively impacting the image. 8

Congrats on a strong score and a great top 15 finish.

Camera Work/Technical: Great focus and strong settings to produce color that the eye expects.

Lighting: I am assuming that this was natural light in addition to the flame in the image. It came off very nice with no detail lost in shadows or highlights.

Composition/Content: Very nice rule of thirds use that moves the eye around the frame. I agree with kristy_mcn with her comment on the flame. It feels chopped off, and it provides a very strong leading line that leads the eye right out of the photograph. I think that the flame should have been included to its terminus.

My Opinion: You captured a very nice and very creative image that I think scored pretty close to its potential.
