I agree with achiral. Though i did comment on the contrast of light and dark, I had not problem with this being a transition. I just assumed the fire was the catalyst for the transition.
transitions result in contrasts...and for the record, the building pictures that were in the top 20 are most definitely not true transitions, they are contrasts, and no one had a problem with them. interpretation was the key here, and you had to stretch your mind and realize that fire and ice is a transition, just like all the rest. by the way, nice job, i also did thermal ice and some were saying this about my picture. doesn't make sense to me. anyway good job on yours, your colors were better than mine
thanks for all your comments. for the record, the transition i was going for was from cold to hot. thanks to all the idiots who said it wasn't a transition. i'm well aware that water never actually turns into fire.
i fall into a trap in these challenges because i use a very bright flat panel monitor at home that always shows a lot more detail in the dark areas of the photo when compared to other monitors. i'm going to have to alot for that next time i take a dark shot.
Cool picture but I think there is just a little too much black on the left. Fire and ice are seperate elements by the way. Ice to water would be the transition but that's not the emphasis here, the fire and ice is.
I myself would have tried to save more detail (if any) in the flame, but can also see you might intend a transition from the detail in the ice to the softness of the fire.
nice concept, but I think I would have liked to have seen the ice cube and fire a little more centered. The left side of the pic looks too dark and blank
wow - cool effect to get the ice looking like it's burning - lots of lighter fluid ? Great concept - too much empty space on the left though - maybe a vertical shot would have been filled more and caught all the flames ?
