mlife,
I would still say that your entry is not valid one. Artistically if we include that because it is provoking, where is fire ? The theme is
Fire. The picture must contain the flame or fire. You can play with the fire artistically but not without that.
Of course your pic puts fire in the mind of viewer but we actually want fire in the pic not in the mind of viewer.
I would like to hear some others opinions as well but (with all due respect) I think you are somewhat looking at this with a very narrow perspective. Im not asking for it to be included based on its provocation factor alone but on the merrit that it shows the warmth, glow, lighting and mood all which are directly caused by fire... in essence, you do see fire as it is being reflected via the subject... same as if the theme was "sky" and someone decided to post a picture of a very calm lake which was smooth enough to show a clear reflection.... your not actually looking at the sky, your looking at water but it is reflecting the sky, would that not be valid? Another good example would be a "stalker" or "evil entity" being portrayed by a photo of a very long / looming looking shadow, again not the actual subject but the implication arrives at the same result.
I will certainly conform to the rules of this contest but feel it would benefit all who participate to allow a little more latitude for creativity... other wise you wind up with countless similar fire places, candles and flames.
just trying to "heat" things up a bit!

I am sorry but here i am not looking at this with narrowing perspective but you are trying to widen the includes of theme unnecessary.
About your point of example of the lake with still water with reflection of sky with sky theme, yes it would be counted a valid entry as we have sky in it though in the form of reflection but we can see it so it will be counted. But only feel of the object instead of the object will not be counted.
About your entry, you are saying to judge it not only on provocation basis but on warmth, glow, lighting and mood. My friend, we all know, the same feel can be replicate to some extent by artificial light and the perfect camera angle. Though i truly believe your pic but let us not go in that complexity. Just make the theme simple.
You are fearing we all endup with similar fireplaces, candles and flames but this will not be the case. Use your imagination, creativity and take snap of it. This is the main reason behind starting such competition.
I hope i have made my point clear.

@mlife, ceaser
I would not want to start a flame war on this.
But I have to go with Ceaser on his point on the validity of mlife's entry.

... enough said but I still feel you are missing my point. I wish not "argue" about something as subjective as creativity nor change the direction of this thread, so I will let it go.
cheers.

@mlife: I can get your point here. But we want you to understand that the photos to be uploaded in the competition must have a visible sign of fire. But I, or we, want you to understand that in this occasion your entry doesn't contain the subject.
