The Sun and the Moon: Edited to add last photo
I wanted to see how my 50 year old Canon FD 800mm f/5.6 s.s.c. would handle photographing both the Sun and the Moon.

Sterling in silhouette
I held a lighting workshop recently. Sterling was the model. I rarely shoot silhouettes but I wanted to incorporate that arch into a shot. Backlighting became an obvious choice.

I actually really like the fire, It helps create a kind of story. I think your original gut feeling of shooting with the fire is spot on. I do however think that maybe the composition could have been a bit different. I'm no expert when it comes to this but maybe there will be others with more experience than me who can kind of come along and tell you what a different approach could have been.
I also do not mind the fire, but would like to see one with and without (if it was possible) to compare. :) I think just the fire without the headlight would be a bit better though. Keeps it in "nature" and would improve the mood slightly for me. Love the setting and how you framed the Milky Way with the landscape.
