Good colors. I bet if the background were darker (shot at dusk) this image would be more dramatic. Good job capturing the detail in the flame and logs (not to mention the pumpkin).
Last I checked, it probably wasn't cool enough to have an outdoor fire this time of year in New Jersey... the things we do for challenges. Unless of course it's a barbeque pit and there was food to be had!
Good job of capturing the flames. Composition-wise, the one log that goes diagonal across the upper part of the frame tends to draw the eye most, and the background leads one to believe this was taken mid-day (which I suspect it was). I'm betting it might have been more dramatic if shot at night. All told, though, pretty good job of capturing flame which to me is a lot harder than it looks!
I gave this a 5. Good colors and all but nothing really to focus on as the main subject (I couldnt find the jack olantern until you pointed him out and then it was a "duh" moment). Not sure really what to add as an improvement though.
nothing in the frame really appears to be in focus, or maybe everything feels slightly over sharpened. either way, i can't really see any real focal point of interest within the shot, and i think that it might have been more effecive as a whole piece if it were taken at night... 3.
