 A white rose representing the earth, burning in a glass of water (thanks to some isopropyl alcohol. Other tries had more fire, but the rose was starting to not look like a rose anymore. Plus I didn't know how long our good crystal could take it.

Neat idea to see a rose on fire. Good image, fits the challenge well.

Title is too long. Looks like you have some little while specks around the bottom of the glass. The color added in is pretty vibrant but why not use a more colorful flower too? Just curious

wow, really cool idea. The contrast works well. Only thing I dont like is the framing around the glass, it seems a little off center and too much negative space in the wrong places.

Too many little spec in the black detract from this nea shot. You were aloud to burn or clone them out, you know. BOL

Air burning earth on water!
I think a tighter crop would have been better - no noeed to the whole glass.

Earth? a bit of a stretch ;) Nice blend of the elements and the blue flame makes this unique.

too bad about the lent on your fabric. also if you were going for a centered subject, it's just off center. it's off just enough to become odd looking.

you left out one thing in your title though. because the glass is also earth (sand).
