This is a tremendous flame - lovely colour, shape and form. As one commentator put in - it looks so violent.
There is one point though that hit you on the voting - context. This for two reasons. The first is that there were many other entries in the challenge with the same idea, so it wasn't very unique. With some voters your might have been the first they saw like this, but with other s your would be a repeat, and they would ahve scored it lower for that. The second is that the lack of context really makes it difficult for the view to identify with the flame. Just how large is it? How menacing is it? The shot needs somethign creative to put the flame in perspective - take a look at the top 20 shots in the challenge.
I hope my comments help and Good Luck in future Challenges!
Great flames. I like how they form a column almost. Nice color to them as well. They do seem a bit muted though, not sure why, as if they could be just a bit more vibrant - maybe its the distance if it were closer in it'd be brighter.. I don't know. I gave a 5
There are just too many contextless, dismbodied flame shots in this challenge, and to be honest none of them are terribly interesting. This is much like the Fireworks challenge, where the photos that scored best actually placed them in some kind of context. This one is just too busy and chaotic.
