A very interesting way of handling the fire and ice concept. I like the the colors very much and your decision to position the tip of the flame dead center.
one of the better fire and ice shots in the challenge. I'd still like to see more interaction between the 2 elements than is presented, but I like the circular cut out and the candle glow on the ice.
Definitely opposite - and definitely used by a lot of others! But yours is a very nice rendition of the ice/fire theme. Colors are wonderful, composition right on, exposure near perfect. Your border show depart the scene though - especially with the white halo at several places in the main image. Nice patterns and textures in the ice.
