Well
spiked rings might be a cool stylistic way for making an explosion, but the main problem is the speed of the explosion.
When things blow up, it's spontaneous. The ring should be at its maximum size - or at the very least close to its maximum size - in one frame. The next frames should then be fallout.
Remember: explosions are forceful. When you make something become huge in a small range of time, it conveys a feel of force in the piece. Try to emulate this as best as you can :>
But yeah, look into other conventions besides the rings. A better flame cloud will make a better feel for the explosion~
