Hmmm....one feels Ambo is a little biased here? Hehehehe....well done though....I don't have a problem with the backdrop....maybe a little diffused side lighting from the right would of set the glisten of the ice off nicely. But I agree, the better of the Fire & Ice photos. Well done.

My favorite of the fire & ice entries. Great choice of background color, and candle color. Nicely done.

A very interesting composition - I like the melted ice in the foreground. The exposure on the flame is very good and the detail on the ice and candle is very good.

Better than mine, these shots are hard to do... good job in general.

Nice capture on the flame, it isn't blown out too much in the shot. It also looks like you took a little time to try to arrange your ice so it had some shape to it. But the shot left me wanting, the crop seems a bit loose and the background on the right seems wrinkled. Also if the candle was lower so you couldn't see the wax part but just the flame? Build the ice all the way around the candle so the light comes from within? A 3 as is

Great background, and choice of white candle with the ice. Nicely compoesed as well. It's nice to see the amount of time and thought that went into this.

This is a nice picture.
1. I think it should have been vertical
2. The light (flame) is too close to the frame
3. Maybe the white balace should be different.
4. The focus is good
5. The background is good
Good work

Good composition and focus on the ice. Nice halo around the flame. Ice reminds me of the greenery "wreaths" often found around candles...

Even though everyone is complaining in the forum that fire and ice are not opposites, I just wanted to say NICE JOB! Love the background. I usually don't like centered images but this one is excellent. Nice textures on the ice and the flame is not to overexposed. 8

I like the concept, but it appears to be lacking some "oomph" to it...maybe the background? A darker color and less direct light, perhaps? I'm not sure, because I don't even know what I'm doing yet, but it is a good start.

So far, my favorite of the fire & ice entries. Beautiful composition and clean focus.

Ice and candles all over DPC this challenge. In order to stand out from the croud an image has to be extra-ordinary, and although better than some this isn't extra-ordinary.

I like the contrast in colors
