A very nice and well presented concept with nothing to detract. Bumping up to 7 for creativity.

Nice idea - works for me but I think the noise? lets it down a bit. It would have been nice to see crisp clear contrasts between the water and the table

Great idea but the ice is too dark

Hmmm... I wonder if I should have lost the spoon.

For what it's worth (and I doubt anyone will read this), there was no flash - just a long-ish exposure. Also, the reason the crop is so tight is that my printer ran out of ink, and I therefore ran out of background. If you look in the top left, you can see the edge of the checkerboard pattern.

Lots of helpful comments - thankyou.

Love the concept, really plays into the challenge perfectly. But even more is I like this photograph, very creative. Keep up the good work.

I like the thought. I like the set up. I like the lighting and color. I am wondering how that fully melted ice cube has less water than the ice cube that is only beginning to melt. 7
