Would have been scored higher if cropped more from left side. Subject is too centered. Wouldn't take much off, just a bit from left side. Hot spots on face are distracting. Love the flare at the base of the sword.
I like the idea (not just fire like in many other entries :), but I think execution can be improved: maybe shallow depth of filed to separate from background, or even different background to make fire "more visible"; lighting of her face can be better
It's a good idea, but to do it in bright daylight wasn't a good move. A much darker and less distracting background would have improved this a great deal.
I would have liked a different crop or angle to this. It feels too much like a snapshot. Also, the glare off the sword is a little bit distracting. But besides that this is a great picture. The fire looks great!
I love the fact that you actually worked to set up a shot and make it work. As you can probably tell your lighting is a little harsh, but that is ok. The refelection off the sword is a bit distracting. I think you did fit the assignment.
