I didn't put a whole lot of thought into it. I just kinda have wanted to do something like this for a while. It's just a long exposure w/ a flash, and then waving a flame around. Meh, it was fun at least.

Clearly a long exposure. I'm surprised to see how steady that hand was kept for it. Not sure I like the lighting. The bright zone on the right distracts from the visual impact of the fireball.
The quality of the lighting is so good, the quantity is another question. Maybe with a little less light on the background the flame would pop out more and that would add a lot.
the hand seems a little out of focus to me. the background could be improved in some way (maybe some a solid coloured paper attached to the wall?) some of the fire is lost outside the photo. my eye is drawn off the photo almost immediately.
Great shot! I think maybe it would have looked better with a black background or at least a wall without so many blemishes. Great job. I like the position of the hand.
