Nice idea, perhaps could have colored the liquid in the volumetric to appease the cliche hounds.

Nice image, and great title! The focus of the flame edges are fascinating. The logs or kindling add interest to the composition.

I like the abstract and the shape of the fire. The log or wood in the middle is a bit distracting but still a good shot.

There are just too many straightforward fire shots in this challenge. What makes fire interesting is the context. Where is it? What is it doing? Is it serving a productive purpose or in a mode of destruction? Fire for fire's sake is just not special enough. Fire for fire's sake is just boring.

Very nice capture of fire but I am not sure what to focus on and my eye is wandering looking for the WOW. It sure meets the challenge. 5

There's another pieces of flower piece that I ranked higher because it seemed to be more evocative by having the "broken flower" pieces all alone in the corner of a "white space." This one doesn't seem to evoke the same sense of loss that the other does.

Just a touch over exposed. I am not sure if you meant to do it on purpose, but I would actally like to see a bit more of the edge of the petals where the white meets white.... I have an image that I'm currently working on fixing a similar problem with. In yours, it looks like there is enough information there that you could probably make the adjustment in photoshop CS using the Image> Adjustments> Shadow/Highlight, as suggested in this turorial:
