Wow the colors are fantastic, you used a low speed so the fire looks like some scratches. Nevertheless the composition is not so good. If I can give my opinion you should take the whole fire, you frame crop the reflection on the water and crop also on the high of your image, It would be better with 28 mm focal. Hope it help you for the future.

Great shot but I have to agree with Raph. Try different things. But the image looks great. Great color. I would try some other angles as well.

I was asked to give a comment on this photo. Here's a "layman's viewpoint" down below.
The subject is certainly eye-catching and attractive. I must admit that the technical aspects of this shot are beyond me: I am an amateur myself and still in the process of experimenting with this kind of shot. I'd listen to RAPH's advice.
The only thing that I might add is this: by looking at the picture, a vertical rectangular area in the left immediately attracts your attention. It is distorting the overall symmetric nature of the scene. I don't know if anything could or should be done about it but human eye is at times the nastiest critic!
Overall, I'd give this picture two green lights and an amber one. Well done!
I think if you crop the top 2/3ish out and look at the horozontal aspect of what is left you would have a great "Caedes" submission (do you see our little spider friend in there?). Other than that, great colors and concept.
Love it!
