    I'm trying to think of something positive to say.

    I do have a couple of suggestions - ditch the bloody mirror floor and replace with something matte black. Then you can have a subtle, none-too accurate 'heat reflection' glow emanating from the back.

    I'd probably crop to the lower 60% as well - too much wasted space up top (unless that's an editorial decision, of course).

    It's a shame you've used the type of flames you have - if you'd used more typical licks of flame, you could have reduced the distance to the horizon and had the occasional lick around parts of the numerals, increasing the sense of depth.

    • I'm fairly sure that type of fire is photographed from the bottom up - not front on. I might be wrong.Nairn
