The children seem to be the main focus, not the elements.

awesome shot !

Well done author!!!

Thanx a lot for your comments and thanx lamantine for your fav...

really cool

The High Res is really great, wonderful flames.

Love the mixture of these two elements (I also like the radiation signs on the barrels in the back)

Thanks a lot to everyone for your comments....

Great effect, nice shot.

I do like your take but I think it could have been executed a little better composition wise

Yeah, better lighting I think. I'm going to re-shoot it so everyone hold your vote.

EDIT: replaced photo with one with a little better lighting.

Nice thinking outside the box

This is pretty.. but I only "see" air and water... what it the third element??? I am thinking you might answer wind, but to me wind is nothing but air...lol

earth, water and wind are the elements.You can see the wind, from the movement of the table cover

Agree with author - but regardless, only 2 are required to be on theme

I was not arguing the validity of the photo... I was just trying to figure out the title...

I guess you could count the land mass as the third.

nice one -- focus is clear on the first two elements

Good one

Pretty awesome shot!

Nice catch getting the wind to blow over that pile of salt like that. Very creative.

wonderful entry, nicely done, perfectly on theme and well thought out

And also congrats for your second place!
