After spending the whole week wanting to do a fire shot, the fear of burning the house down made me rethink it....

The hardest part was freezing the sheet of ice, and it definitely didn't work out the way I wanted it to. Light was below the ice, used a diffuser to soften it. Photoshop was levels, curves, cooling filter (for blue tint), resize, usm, save for web. I don't expect much, but it felt nice to enter a challenge.

Great unique shot, would have liked to see the ice completely level rather than tilted back in the foreground, nonetheless it is a very cool shot, and a really great idea.

Very nice. just a bit more separation at the top of the puck and this would be perfect. 8

This is wonderful. I love the reflection of the puck on the ice and this is wonderfully focused. Very good job.

a nice addition would be a hockey stick set up to hit it. But i really like it, simple and sharp.
