sorry to hear about the crash ... that's really annoying -_-
As for critique - love the dynamic piece and foreshortening etc... but right now the values are the weakes point I think. Makes it hard to find a place for the eye to rest. I'd like to look at the face and the mask etc, but the bright spot on the left keeps stealing my focus. Maybe tone down on the firey parts and/or push the contrast of the face a bit. I am also a bit irritated why the light on the shaman and his mask is somewhat cold when there is so much orange and red around. If that comes from a second light source, it's not really clear to me.
Also, some (slight!) rim light on the hand(s) in the foreground could make the forms read better , right now the left hand is melting into the shaman's leg a bit.
Sorry for the nitpicking :P Overall it's a strong piece, love how action-packed & dynamic it is!
