Hello from the Critique Club, I'm Jon, and I'll be looking at your photo today
the first thing that jumps out at me about this photo is the blowouts in the fire. it's rather hard to shoot fire at a 5.6, and with a shutter of 1/15th it really allows too much light in w/ such a hole aperture. i think if you would have stopped this to about a f/12 or so, the faster shutter speed would have possibly been ample to catch the red/orange tones from the flame w/out blowing it out. i would mess around w/ the AV mode and the TV mode on your camera, i have the XT and still learning things daily. keep on shooting! you have some great shots in your portfolio
the background is also rather cluttered. i'd try messing around w/ a few different angles, for it seems like you were either standing looking down somewhat for this shot.
great attempt, and not a bad score at all. keep on clickin' away w/ that great camera and ur shots will continue to get better :)
good luck w/ your future challenges!

A little too overexposed for my taste (4) |

Camp fire, isn't it ?
The background is distracting. |

That definately looks like a hot fire, so you met the challenge. The flame looks a little blown out. |
