An interesting image Gowri - love the flame like colors. Eyes seem to be wanting to see the base of the flame - may be not cutting the flame at bottom and top will add to this abstract image. Also, instead of turning the grey to total black may be retaining it as darker shade of grey will bring this closer to reality, yet abstract - just my thoughts...

Very Nice Work Gowri ... I too feel some more of the flame might have added more to the composition here ... still the flame colors have come out Beautifully ...

very good abstract image here...i too agree with the previous comments of having more flame in the frame...

Beautiful abstract. Indeed its a flame. The black blends nicely with the leaves here giving a smoother transition.

Rich colours & lovely contrast. Regions of sharp central vein with rest of the leaf in OOF makes the image an interesting one.
