Greetings from the Critique Club.
Hi Indridi,
This is a tremendous flame - lovely colour, shape and form. As one commentator put in - it looks so violent.
There is one point though that hit you on the voting - context. This for two reasons. The first is that there were many other entries in the challenge with the same idea, so it wasn't very unique. With some voters your might have been the first they saw like this, but with other s your would be a repeat, and they would ahve scored it lower for that. The second is that the lack of context really makes it difficult for the view to identify with the flame. Just how large is it? How menacing is it? The shot needs somethign creative to put the flame in perspective - take a look at the top 20 shots in the challenge.
I hope my comments help and Good Luck in future Challenges!
Cheers
Paul |

| Good idea but I'd like to have seen something other than the flame in the shot to give it some context |

| A very fitting title. I love how the orange/yellow interact with the black to create interesting patterns. |

| Great flames. I like how they form a column almost. Nice color to them as well. They do seem a bit muted though, not sure why, as if they could be just a bit more vibrant - maybe its the distance if it were closer in it'd be brighter.. I don't know. I gave a 5 |

| There are just too many contextless, dismbodied flame shots in this challenge, and to be honest none of them are terribly interesting. This is much like the Fireworks challenge, where the photos that scored best actually placed them in some kind of context. This one is just too busy and chaotic. |

Quite a few like this. I think that is what will hurt your score a little. 5

| Get Langdon to fix your spelling (just send an administrative note). Like the reference to LoTR... |
