Composition : While a few folks seem to think the composition was "too centered", I disagree. While it is centered from right to left, it is offset very nicely from top to bottom. I feel the light is a benefit of the rule of thirds (loosely but effectively applied). To my eye the composition was one of the best aspects. But then again, what do I know :)
Exposure / Lighting : There is nothing specifically wrong with the lighting (that I can see), but the indirect light left the red a little on the flat side. This may have been intentional to better bring out the PhotoShopped "fire within".
Focus : No issues here. Everything is clear and crisp.
Post Processing : I envy your talent with post processing. I wouldn't be able to do this to save my life. I hope you write a "How'd they do that?" article showing how this was done.
Challenge / Wow : The challenge is certainly meet here. I felt it had Wow, but several others seem to disagree. I wish I could tell you why they weren't moved, but I can't.

Nice, subtle idea. The photo as a whole isn't very interesting though. With plain, centred composition the subject needs to be a bit more appealing... bright colours or interesting textures etc. The "fire alone isn't enough for me to like this photo. |

The composition here is static to me, because the shot is straight on, and it is so centered. However, I think it is an awesome idea. I'm not crazy about wild things in post processing, but yours is one that I feel has been done very well. It enhances the photo, without being overbearing. Good work. |

Excellent take on the challenge and very creative. One point off for shooting straight at the object, even a slight angle would be more creative. Good Luck, John Gill |

Interesting photo, meets the challenge, but not real high impact for me - sorry I can't be more specific, it just doesn't "do" anything for me. |
