Nice score for this image IMO. I like the silhouette effect. I think this doesn't really convey heat much to me. I know you have the flames and the gun but still I think it was a stretch. I would like to see more detail in the fire if you are going to have a silhouette. The crop /composition just seems off also. I think it would have more appeal if you were to have used the rule of thirds with this one and had the model a little smaller.

Good use of silhouette. Clever use of two sources of "heat".
