I gave this image a 5. I understood the joke and the idea is very good, but it looked staged and I felt the intent was to look more natural as part of the joke.
Photographically you captured flame very well, but standard elements of good photography, such as perspective and DOF were not employed. Either or both would have made the image more interesting to look at. The dramatic background trees, which would be good in other images, draw the eye away from your main subject and are distracting. Perhaps taken from above looking down with shallow DOF around the flaming hand or cell phone with either or both positioned on standard ROT positions in the frame would have made a more interesting image.
The general overall technical quality of the image also contributed to my valuation.
