I think it sucks....
it sucks that more people are painting their own bodies...it's bad for my business!
Seriously...the only thing I would say is, flames are tricky to get looking good. Yours kinda look like lobster claws, know what I mean?
Practice lots of them on paper until you get the look you want, then transfer it onto the body.
You didn't say, but I'm gonna guess this was rattlecanned..if so there isn't much you can do for fades or shadows, so no comment applies about the lack of these details.
For future, a a real simple tape trick that works great with spraycans is to rip masking tape so it has a ragged edge, and just start laying down irregular edges...then paint one color, take up the tape..paint the other color..this could have been done in rear area, or on the roof, to give the big black section a little more custom look.
All in all, black and red are classic choices.
