Somehow that bat like figure was from the powder thrown into the flame rising into the air.

The distracting glow near the top right hand corner is ... well... distracting. If only it wasn't there as the rest of the image is quite different from a lot of other entries and is very well composed and has nice DOF. The fire element is subtle and with the colour cast complements the other subjects.
My focus is drawn to the light spot over the head of the woman to the right. The knee/pant leg of the woman on the left appears more in focus than the fire, which I think is your real subject. Contrast of between the background and the scarved heads could be better. They seem to blend into the background (maybe this is your intent?. I do like the theme and thought is was a creative setting for the assignment.
