A match put into a backlit block of ice and photographed with as the flame burns blue and white - just like the ice. A variation on the fire and water theme.

OK - my first submission and now I know the kind of competition I am up against! I rushed this entry and shouldn't have. Also, in retrospect I should have known that the fire/ice theme would be done to death. So 240th out of 291 is pretty dreadful, but I intend to do much better in future challenges. Thanks for the comments everyone :)
These shots can be hard to get a good exposure! Good job all things considered. Work on your idea and redo your shot and I think you'll have a winner...
interesting idea. the flame looks great. but the glare on the bottom ruins it for me. Perhaps a crop, or just allow the light from the candle, instead of any artificial lighting?
