I love the way the flames are reflected/refracted in the glass goblet. There's nice colors shown and the lighting looks good. The focus looks okay though I wish it were a bit sharper. Simple in composition but has a number of areas of interest available. I gave a 5 since it has a lot of potentially interesting things to investigate but it doesn't keep my attention long, not sure what's missing that would keep my attention invested more though.
Not bad at all. A very good job I think. I know the blow out area in the fire might get some comments but I like it. Takes the colors through the gamut. 7
I don't want to say the image is grainy or out of focus, beacuse it doesn't seem like that to me, but I imagine other people might think of your shot that way? To me this seems almost like an abstract, and I love a good abstract image. I think you did a great job here - especially with balancing the colors.
