After spending all week trying to come up with an idea and failing miserably I tried this as a last ditch effort. I didn't have a tripod and had a hard time with motion blur, but I decided just to go with this one anyways.

Shot with the Canon 100mm F/2.8 Macro

a good idea, but I would have preferred to see more interaction between the flame and the ice. The fingers holding the match don't do much for the overall composition.

would've liked a little larger DOF, to include one of the fingers...

i think the fingers really take away a lot from this shot.

Really kind of boring and the hand ends up being very distracting. A 3

This picture would look much better without your fingers in it :). I like the texture of the ice and the contrast with the background, but I can't give it a high mark

Nice reflection of flame on the ice. I like the cube of ice as well. I would have liked more depth of field to keep the brave fingers in focus. They are certainly a vital part of this picture, not obscurable background. A 5.

Sorry, there's not much in this image to hold one's interest.

Another fire & ice :-) Not quite all in focus and not a terribly interesting photo to me.

could have put a little more work into it. at least make it so the hand isnt visible, it just takes all the attention away from the picture.

Nice framing; however the hand distracts from the image.

Not another badly executed ice cube shot !
Lighting - dull
Focus - dof too small
Exposure - reasonable
Inspiration - not much

Sorry
