WOW...seriously loving that shot Mark
Not gonna offer any crit cos I couldn't have done 1/2 as good job in taking that shot...exposure & focus look spot on & great imagination
I agree with Lynne
Cracking shot Mark, can't see how you could improve it tbh. Top marks and well done.
Temperature - A take brilliant week on this weeks theme and an outstanding effort. I like it a lot, great balance of extreme temperatures. The directional and angled lighting is really good. You had to work very quickly with that shot or the ice would of melted in these temperatures. Spot on focusing too !
Best interpretation of this weeks theme so fa and one to be proud of

Nice lighting on your random shot & a great shot for temperature. really well done.
Nothing wrong with that. It has definitely worked in this case,Thanks everyone, glad you like it
Peter, the template was foam board, and although the paper outer skins cut cleanly, my knife was too blunt to do the same with the foam. I agree that it does add to the effect I wish I could say I'd done it deliberately, but the truth is it just happened that way!
Southdowns said:It's one of those ones that fits the theme, and then some, for me, but not necessarily for others unless they share my interpretation. For me it's abstract because what it represents (religion) is abstract, i.e. not real, AND because it is an abstract shot in the sense that nothing in it is real or even designed to look real, except the cross itself; there's no real flames, blood, smoke or eyes (?) anywhere to be seen. Those were all made up in your mind, not mine ! It's representational.
Shoe horned it in to the theme...
