Greetings from the Critique Club...

My critique will be short and sweet since you didn't post any of your own thougths on the photo...

This photo scored high enough in the challenge to not require much critique. Everyone seemed to like it.

I think it's an excellent image. The color saturation is a little heavy for my personal taste though.

First thing I think is, why did you cut off the head? The image looks a bit tilted (down to the left). I wonder is fire is an appropriate "still" life element. Good color and exposure.

Makes me pause as I sit here in my nice house sipping the Assam tea that was picked by someone much like her. Wonderful color. I like the shallow DOF, but I would have cropped a bit off the bottom. I'd also prefer her looking towards the camera. But all said and done, a very good portrait.
