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!

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.

One of several fire and ice entries. Rather abstract but pleasant.

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.

Wish I were there - a very pleasant scene. The blue of the downstream water is bit unnatural - but works very well for you. Composition fits perfectly.
