Fireby

Hello Sesselja. You have been chosen as my first critique in the Critique Club!
First of all , I have to say I'm in no way a professional photographer. I just like to look at pictures and take a few pictures!
The first thing I did when I got your picture was to look at it and then go do something else and let the image simmer in my mind.
What did the picture make me feel? Well, I got the feeling of warmth (of course!), and then I got the feeling of spending a comfortable, relaxing evening at home. That's good!
What I liked? I liked how it made me feel. I kind of liked the simple composition. We see fire, that's it. So, it fits the Challenge well. I also like the colors given out by the flames. The focus is great.
What I didn't like? Maybe the composition is too simple. You don't get to play around with different elements, like DOF, exposure, textures, and different elements in the picture. That's because we see fire and only fire. You didn't give yourself anything other than the fire to work with. I think this is the main reason your pic didn't get a higher score.
All in all, it's a nice fire shot. I've looked into your profile and your portfolio and i know you have the skills to get this fire going!
Keep trying!
