*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

An interesting image that meets the challenge well.

This is a great idea, well thought out with a lot of your personal creativity coming through and generally well executed. I have to agree with one of your commenters about the blue and the red lights, I would like to see the blue light shining through the cubes from the base against the red flamed backdrop filling the space behind. Perhaps you may already have tried this and decided against it? I don't know, but it feels to me as though it would have added a lot more impact to your image.

Regardless of how the image scores here you have come up with a great idea, well done. Thanks for your submission, Sid

Very clever capture and I love how you keep the red and blue light separate on the ice.

Interesting choice of blue flame. To me, that kind of takes away from the fire aspect a bit.

I find myself wondering what it would look like if you left the flames all orange/red. And used a gelled strobe on the ice to turn those blue (maybe via backlighting).

This is a really cool and very well executed idea! I think it was smart to use two different colored flames. I also think that the reflection also adds very positively to the composition. And I can even see good texture in the ice. Very well done!

I acquired it through video data taken with a monochrome DMK 3.1 camera; color was generated by using red, green, and blue filters independently; each of these colors represents a "channel" in this sense.
