I like the photo more and more. Could be a nice poster on the wall :-). And although symmetry is not necessarily a good thing, I like the symmetry of the flames in this case. Tomas

Hi Lee. It does look a bit better now. It's hard for me to say if it's the motion blur from the ice melting too fast? or the DOF.
Thanks Rod and Techo. I reworked the BHL in photoshop. Does it still look out of focus?

Cool image! and congratulations on being the first to post in eligible, you're fast :-) I was just thinking about some comments in the previous challenge, where you guys mentioned taking two photo and combining them, one photo for the fire in mind and the other for the ice?

"The trick was finding an exposure to avoid blown highlights" & you almost succeeded Lee:-) Good idea & shot.
Thanks Paul for the comments. I worked on it some to make it a little more sharper. Not sure I can get it any more.
The picture is really very straight forward. Just ice and isopropyl alcohol. The trick was finding an exposure to avoid blown highlights and get a sharp image. That is why I increased the f stop. theFly
I think this has the making of a great shot and is a terrific idea, not even sure how you did it. Only comment would be that nothing much in the image looks particularly sharp - particularly the ice cube
(where it is nearest the lens) and I think it would benefit from something being sharp. It might've been the 1/60s shutter that made it look a bit blurred, with all that action happening! Paul Donovan.
