I like the composition in this shot, an unusual placement of the hand which works well. As always your editing is good and I love your title! :o) Nice one Andi :o)
Somehow I like the frame, usually I don't. Quite an interesting composition, since you decided no to go with landscape orientation. Interesting lighting.
Great shot! The flame is great but the detail, sharpness and contrast of the hand is what makes the difference for me. My personal blue ribbon is awarded to you.
Great idea for a picture. However the fire just doesn't look real. Even though it probably is, the way it is processed makes it look not really like fire (like it's photoshopped in kind of). Part of that is the lack of color. For me it doesn't work very well.
