Thanks for all the kind comments,though I do wish the folks who voted one and two had left a comment too.
I forgot to describe how I set up the shot so in answer to some questions here goes. I bought a large block of ice at the store, which sadly was too milky but next time Ill know, I used a blow torch to create a bowl and poured in about 3 cc of gasoline. I put the block in front of a black backdrop and on sone black paper with a square cut out which was on top of a peice of plexiglass with blue plastic on it to get the cold light, under which was a drop light in a cardboard box. I took the shots centered and cropped them slightly off to give it a less static look. I took about thirty shots over four rounds of adding gas and igniting and was pleased to have not set the garage on fire. |

| Very cool capture. The flames are just wonderful - I like how they form a bit of cup shape jsut like the ice does in the center. The colors are really nice. |

| 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. |

| Saw a lot of this idea, but this was the best. Great effect, nice balance, and how'd you get that cool internal glow at the bottom? |

| the flame is realy nice. i like the reflection of the light on the ice as well, it adds a cold, bluish colour |

| Although fire with ice is a cliched subject in this challenge the colors of the ice and how you captured the flame really makes photo stand out to me. A very well done shot. 8 |

| At last, this one I like! Shows the ice well, plus the fire isn't taking over the whole shot, lighting is great, colours are great... Well done! Full marks! |

Classic idea, but the angle could be better. Just needed some more work.
Still a lot better than many in this contest. |

| I've seen about a dozen variations of fire and ice thus far, and this is the best. A beautiful shot. |
