 Adjusted contrast, selective color, unsharp mask and framed.

Only one other person saw what attracted me to this image- a face with teeth. Congrats to jaded_youth for
seeing what others missed.

Thanks to everyone elses input. I may have over-sharpened a bit.

I like the concept. I like the zoom. I just wish it were more in focus.

Explosive. Love the color and the chaos. I also like the organic swirls the fire creates. The border helps moderate the space so I don't get pulled out of the image. Only downside is the focus isn't sharp, not sure whether complete sharpness is possible but I wish the flames were a bit more defined. I gave a 6

Besides just not being a very interesting composition, there's one speck of orange in the bottom of the upper left quadrant that is very distracting. It's the first place my eye goes every time.
