I think, as more people suggested, that you use more shades of red and black. At the moment it's a bit too plain, The effect are ok but could be better. For now 6/10. Keep trying

I love them both but I think the first one is better because you can see the flames more :)

first one is the best you could see pontya's flame and both have to be fixed like what mike happy said but the first one is good is better than the second one

First one because you can seeflames of pontya.
But secon one color is better, and looks more like Cursed if that's what you trying to do

The first one is better since the second ones cursed effect behind the render merges with the renders colors which makes it hard too see. You should do like the effect on 2nd into a 70 Deg angle and spread it out with Motion Blur so it would look good imo.

the first one looks a lot better cause you can somewhat see the flames compared to the second
