Hello, Greetings from the Critique Club.

As requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission. Please keep in mind this is a personal opinion.

First Impression - the most important one:
Focus seems to be off, but a great shape of the flames

Composition:
Composition doesn't really appeal much to me. I think, if you cropped different, the subject out of the center of the image, it would've been a bit better.

Subject:
This does fit the challenge, but lacks a bit of creativity.

Technical (Color, focus, and light):
Focus: Like I said, the focus is off... pity! I think if you used a smaller aperture (F5.6 maybe?) and compensating with the ISO, the focus would have been better. 2.8 is a small area for sharpness, especially with a moving object. It would be interesting to have a better view at the newspapers.
Color: The colors in your image look great, nothing to say about that.
Light: The newspaper could have been a bit lighter IMO, you could use the dodge tool for example.

I hope you've found this critique helpful. Good luck with future challenges!

It lacks all composition in my opinion and it also lacks more sharpness.

The composition is ok. The image quality is not very good. The subject matter is ok. This picture could be a little more creative.
