The back ground does look awesome. Even without the subject whirling the fire, I think it would do very well in the free studies.

The picture is beautiful, but I found the colors a bit too colorful and bright. As a result of this the part in the shadows has completely been overcast, but I think if the bright parts would have been a little less bright, the image would have been much better. Actually I liked the part of the picture in the mirror/shadows more than the bright parts. I did some experiments by reverting the image i.e. keeping the shadow on the left and the image on the right, and found the image to be more appealing, possibly due to the right-handedness of my brain.

I always wonder why blue and green colors always create such a beautiful composition. The reflection from the river just adds to the beauty...BTW did you plan for this shot, or was it taken off hand

I like the multitude of colors in the potrait. However I felt that there were a few bright spots, which might have been easily eliminated, but maybe elimination of those spots would give the image a dull look.

I am just a newbie..was just wondering how the shot would look like if taken such that the middle section is unsymmetrical. Another thing that struck me was to take the shot such that the upper(i.e. the leaves and branches) and the bottom(ground) section approach infinity in a symmetrical manner. I think it would look cute..that way...Anyways I like the colors a lot..however you didn't mention the photoshop steps..
