Hello from the Critique club

An appealing image that meets the challenge well.

Your image has some lovely shapes colours and textures that as one of your commenters has pointed out has a resemblance to dancing flames which gives it another dimension, very artistically done. I love the backlit brighter leaf towards the top which gives it all that burning feel and all of this is accentuated by the lovely base with its twisted shapes supported by the dark vein like structures. The whole composition feels very dynamic as though we are witnessing a brief flickering moment in time.

Your lighting is good with a combination of backlighting and front side lighting it has enabled you to bring out all the detail well. The subtly dual coloured soft focus background works well too.

Your image has lots of appeal and I'm pleased to see that it has been received so well here though those sub 5s are completely unjustified, you can't please 'em all can you? Well done Alice.
