It's very cute, well exposed and definitely meets the challenge. Make it better by moving your subjects off-center and by removing the white traingle top right. Even so - it leaves a warm feeling in this viewer.

Still Growing

There's just something about this image - this is about the 4th time I have come back to make comments. It's captivating and very well done. The pose of the model is precious. It shows "big" and "small" very well. You have reduced the effect of the terrible sky by placing the trees in optimum positions. I'm not fond of the border, but try not to let that influence my voting.

I guess my only reason for not giving it a 10 is very subjective - and something I can't explain. It doesn't really have a "wow" impact on me - but it's darn close.

Cubs Win! Cubs Lose!

Idea is great, execution is ok. Expressions are just right. Focus is like the Cubs - "almost". Stilll - an enjoyable take on opposites.

Ice Flame

Definitely opposite - and definitely used by a lot of others! But yours is a very nice rendition of the ice/fire theme. Colors are wonderful, composition right on, exposure near perfect. Your border show depart the scene though - especially with the white halo at several places in the main image. Nice patterns and textures in the ice.

Sunshine and shade

An exceptionally pleaseing image with great light overall. The horizon is very close to dead-center, but you could easily crop out some of the sky. It's a real stretch to say it meets the challenge, but since it's so well done - no points deducted for that! Great job!

"Black & White," On The Rocks

Comment:
Your image has a nice overall feeling - and it's a nice idea for opposites. Composition wise - the upper left corner should be removed. Post processing - the contrast seems a bit high.

Still a good opposite entry.

Original. Clever juxtaposition.

Peaceful Explosion

Are you telling your age - or is that peace symbol still around? A very original idea - well executed. The orange background is very effective. How to add a point or two = one of the wicks lit and sparkling!

One of several "fice and ice" submissions - but one that is a techical gem. Your choice of a black background was perfect for this setup. Keep up the nice work.
