First Impressions
Seems to meet the Challenge. Quite good symmetry. Perhaps could have been enhanced by some cloning out of minor issues here and there.

Photograph Information, Technicals & Composition Review
A slighty deeper DOF would have allowed the flames (fire) to become more apparent.

Compositionally, don't mind the front on aspect, but perhaps a slightly tighter crop would have evoked a feeling of being 'in front of' this fire more. But depends what you were aiming for.

Comments, Score & Placement Review
61/96 and a score of 5.26 is a fairly good score for an entry that ended up in the bottom third.

Your commenters don't really give much indication of what they felt could have improved the image, save for perhaps the first comment.

Summary
I wonder about a more 'level' point of view/perspective, whether this may have given the image an edge. That coupled with the deeper depth of field, as mentioned above, would likely have produced a stronger image for this Challenge.

Image a little too bright. The orange of the flames could be a little more saturated. 5 , overall creation a little bland.
