People look too dark here IMO, fire is well captured :)

Has too much of a snapshot feel

I like the way the people seem to fade into the background

This would be better if I could see the people engaged in conversation. They are shoved up in a corner, relegated to darkness and virtual obscurity.

Yeah, nicely caught. I do like this a lot. Not sure about all the negative space on the right though, composition feels a little unbalanced. But all in all, technically well handled.

I love how there is such an emphasis on the flames, a strong shape surrounding it... and just a tiny hint of people in the background. A tighter crop on the right would have made this good image a great one, in my opinion.

I think i'd like this better if the people werent so far off to the left of the frame. maybe if the fire was slightly right and the people slightly left it wouldnt feel so cramped.

Good fire. A little soft. Perhaps a little more time in post (Bump in contrast/ more USM) would have brought out the image. 5

odd composition. all that black space on the right isn't doing much for me.

I wish that the right side was cropped tighter ... the blackness doesn't add to the photo at all ... nice fire capture though ... hope you had lots of cocktails!
