Greetings from the Critique Club!

The message
The idea this image conveys is creative. The shape of the rock is similar to the cone of a volcano, so the flame shooting from it works well. It has a nice "wow factor".

Creative choices
The background is perfect. The composition works well, as does the vertical format. Lighting from the flame is great, but the lighting on the rock needs to be more even; a fill light on the left would avoid the distracting deep shadow. Some sharpening would bring out the texture of the rock. I also think the rock would work better if it was a reddish brown; adjusting the hue slightly would be fairly easy in most photo editing programs (and legal for this challenge).

Technical aspects
Focus is fine, though a bit soft. Exposure of the flame is great, but the rock has some hot spots. Color rendition is very nice.

The gradient of the background is good and a nice tall flame with interesting color. There is something about the rock that I do not like, but I cant really put my finger on it. Overall it's a good shot.
