I wanted to capture the flow of fire as a wave with its gentle undulations and crests and valleys. The sway of a long lit flame in the wind can be the most captivating, drawing everyone in closer to its fierce center. This was shot in late afternoon to isolate the flame's colors with a narrow depth of field to accent the wave of the flame.
Thanks, everyone, for the votes and comments! I appreciate everyone's feedback and see you during the next challenge...

Greetings from the critique club. First off let me tell you that I think your take on the challenge is great. I love the fact that you were able to get the color of the flame and also got some detail in the Tiki torch. I'd like to see a little more detail in the torch and also I'd love to see the end of the flame. Overall you did a nice job with a good take on the challenge.
Nice movement in the flame. Good color. Lighting is nice too. I wish the focus were a bit sharper but I do like how the flame originator (the tiki) is more muted so the attention can center on the flame without distraction. I gave a 5
You should try a larger filesize.. no real issues here but it will help in future. I love the swirling flame and the interesting but not distracting background.
