Hi from the Critique Club!
This is another creative take on the challenge. The contrast between fire and ice is indeed high contrast and shows originality.
The execution though has let you down: Compositionally, you have missed what should be the main focus of the image - the words and the fire.The bottom half of your image is wasted space and adds nothing to the picture. Had you focused more on the words and the fire your image would have been dramatically improved. As it is, the main focus has been dissected, which changes the whole esence of the photograph.
The lighting is too harsh for your creative idea. You have blown highlights on the bottom of the ice bag, when what you really needed was dramatic lighting to bring out the fire, letting the fire itself, perhaps, highlight the words.
The focus too seems a little off - a smaller aperture (16 or 22) would give you a greater depth of field, bringing the whole image into sharper focus.
This is a very original, creative idea, but it's execution let you down.

| Very nice idea, but the bag of ice is not particularly interesting. Would have been nice to see the ice itself burn!! :) |

| this would have said high contrast to me if you had moved the frame up almost 1/2 way and shown more of the flame against the black BG. awesome and unique idea for this challenge! good strong colors |
