Reminds me of a shot Konador did. I think this qualifies as High Contrast. We got bright brights and dark darks. The lines near the upper left of the flames are a bit of a distraction to me since they are so close to the face and actually go through the face in a couple parts. Was this challenge advanced editing? I can't remember. I would have cloned the lines out of this shot.
Focus is soft, which I'm sure is intended due to the slow shutter speed. I think it works here for what I think you were trying to achieve. Without much details, I'm not really sure if that's your intent, but I assume it was.
This kind of shot really isn't my own personal cup of tea, however, it is neat and does draw attention and also is visually appealing.
Colors are really nice. I like the brightness of the bottom half of the photo with the darkness of the top half.
The face showing through the fire creates interest, but the lines are quite a distraction, that they almost overpower the face in my opinion.
