Fired Ice

Comment by banmorn:
THis was one my only ten in the the challenge so I am real surprised that it did not do better. I found this image extremely fascinating and hope you might think of trying it again for the fire challenge, unless, of course you have some other great idea for same. Like this very much as an abstract and would like to see what you might get with further experimentation. Great job! RoB

Very effective use of light and shadow. For that I'd give it a 7. It's over sharpened as there are stair steps around the rim of the can. Super sharpness is not needed for a photo like this.

Good idea, cool effect. Maybe a reflector card or something would do to light up the left side if you like that. Like this shot, different

The jagged edges are very obvious. It would keep me from going higher than 6 or 7.

This is really cool. I love the clean lines and how the shadow and the top combine to make the keyhole shape. I would give it a 9 or 10

Great capture of an everyday item. Lighting is what makes this a nice simple composition. The thumbnail looks like a keyhole on a lock.Beautiful gradations of tone on the cans top. Good contrast on a B&W will usually receive bonus points from me, also good graphic images. "9" or "10", but probably a "10".

I looked over the submissions for the mundane challenge and in my opion (take that as you may) this one would win in my book. Nice clean lines, very simple, the varying degrees of grey tones are working and the overall image itself is just beautiful. I did notice the little jagged edge on the upper and lower lip of the can that someone else had mentioned. I don't know what the cause of that it is but if you can get rid of that the image would be a ten in my opion (again, take that as you may) and I almost never give out tens. Good work.

I think this definitely would have been about a 7 for me. I like how clean it is and the sharpness around the edges of the can. The gray tones are very nice and the composition is classic. Good, strong shot.
