A comment was left with the finished 'Solstice Fire' piece that perhaps it would have been better without the cgi background.

I most cetaintly like this version better than the digitally altered one... In the other one there seemed to be too great contrast between the two, used styles.. If you know where I'm going. Anyway... This one is great. Very dynamic.
