Nice title... seems like a newspaper headline and I like how that is paired with such an abstract image. I like this... I don't think that it really shows "fire" (would not do that without your title) but I do think it's a nice abstract.
If you're going to use the word "focus" in your title, it's probably a good idea to make the photo as crisp as possible. As it stands, this is so blurry that I can't tell that it's a flame.
See to me it is not focused on anything. I get what you a trying for but to most without the title it is just a blue gradient. I see no fire in the shot. I hate to vote low but I am giving you a 3. It may meet the challenge but I can't see it.
I like it insofar as the blurry blue is appealing. I would have worked better if set against a 100% background above and below. As a person who has routinely gotten beaten down for submitting out of focus shots intentionally, I'm going to toss you an 8 just out of sympathy for how bad you are going to do.
