Hi from the Critique Club!

I think this is a neat little image. The composition is very nice. I like how the flame flows, and how each flame adds to the next. The exposure is nicely done. Also, the subtle detail on the flame heads (matches??) adds a nice touch.

The background color could maybe use a change. The contrast between the fg and bg is interesting like it is now, but maybe a more contrasting color like black or blue might have added a little "umph" to this image. I like the "crinkles"

Overall, a nice image!

:)

I like this composition for the most part. Love the way the fire drapes and flows. The different nodules (are those matchsticks?) add a nice bit of uniformity to the image that also helps highlight the more organic feel of the fire. I do not like the background. It distracts me from the main subject with all its crinkle and creasing. I don't mind the color, though maybe a cooler color of blue or green might have added a better contrast and might not have distracted as much. Not sure. I gave a 5

A different angle on a common theme - I don't like the textured background though - I'd also like more of the flame tails in shot

Nice fireballs, but I think the background takes away from it

The composition here is strange. The crumpled background just makes it confusing.

Yeah very nice. Great setup and effect by rotating the image it makes it! Nothing bad to say about this. 8
