First the in depth review of this piece as promised.
Please dont take any of the following personally, nothing against u, jsut providing and honest in depth review, backed by years worth of credentials in art and design, and offer this to help you in your artistic endeavors, and development as an artist.
I will be touching on many key points, that would be similar to having your peice judged in a digital art contest.
Anything said from this point is not in any way said to insult your piece, or you as an artist, but rather should be taken as CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, which you can utilize in the future when making your pieces..

Upon initial viewing this piece has a nice feel to it, but upon further review, it lacks many qualities that would make it a phenominal piece.
The title of this piece, in conjunction with the title is wonderful. It definitly provides that warm/fiery feeling. A+ on that.
Unfortunatly, upon further review of this piece, a few factors that deter from its overall appeal come to light.
One of these, being the detail, and composition. Whereas the edges of the objects are clean and smooth, there is a sensory overload of reflections, in odd directions, that really become a distraction. When you look at the reflections, you see an abundance of sqaure edges that take away that rounded smooth feeling, and the overall flow in direction. Objects in the reflections seem cluttered together, and completly random, the visual response of the viewer being drawn in way to many directions at once, with no real focus point, or point of reference.
The lower left portion of the image is the largest of the objects, and should contain some amount of the focus the veiwer will be drawn to, however there seems to be a large black void, which only tends to bring out the sqaure edges in the reflections even more, taking away the 3d feel of the object.
To see these things more clearly, take the image into photoshop, and apply the glowing edges filter(Filter>Stylize> Glowing Edges...) You can see clearly there the edges, and the cluttered areas which really can be visually disorienting, and this will also show you the amount of depth, the piece actually contains. As you will be able to see, the upper 2 objects still appear slightly 3d, but the large object loses it.
So it seems theres still some work to be done to consider this a finished piece, rather than something that was just thrown together and looked cool.
You do exibit a large amount of natural ability in your pieces as far as composition, and are improving as well, and i strongly encourage you to stick with it, and take note of the things I mentioned for future pieces. Knowledge is power.

firstly, i just want to point out that where you mention -
"When you look at the reflections, you see an abundance of sqaure edges that take away that rounded smooth feeling, and the overall flow in direction. Objects in the reflections seem cluttered together, and completly random, the visual response of the viewer being drawn in way to many directions at once, with no real focus point, or point of reference"
Thats because, there are a lot of square and random objects in there, to generate the desired reflections. Most of the random objects are set as mirrors to bounce the various light points around. I used 7 light points in this piece, and needed them to all come together. (all of the light points were different from one another). Though you dont realise the square edges, unless you are really looking at it closely.
Secondly, The large black void, was deliberatly put there, too much of the same thing all over the place, i find, gets too much.
Thankyou for the comment, and the tips.
Much appreciated.
