While I like the way fire photographs the softness of this image hurts it. It probably wouldn't be so bad if the front OR back was in focus but neither really are and it is hard to find a subject to focus on. You captured the flames perfect otherwise. Good luck.

Not positive I can see the face, but the big and little flames are really neat. Well done! 9

This seems a bit too soft overall but the flames and candles are a great idea.

A beautiful test to photograph a flame but I think that a little clearness would have given more broadth to the subject.

Yes I think I see the face. But still I cant find this image very interesting. All seems unsharp and out of focus. 5 for meeting the challenge.

great flame but everything in this shot looks a bit out of focus, must have been tricky to catch that flame though
