I think it is technically very challenging and well realized. By that I
mean how you accomplished the cut interior look and combined it with
excellent texturing and photons(?) and achieve a remarkable level of
realism. It is also a great interpretation of the topic, but with
regards to that, the color scheme doesn't make much sense to me. I
would think that some play of reds and cyans might push the irony a
little more, but perhaps you are trying to be less obvious. I do wonder
if you might experiment more with the lighting to make the image a
little more evocative and perhaps gain further allusion to the topic.

Nice, a unique variation. Love the textures, especially the lower part near
the table.

Original interpretation!!
I would put a little puddle of water at the base too......
I am not too fond of the background texture, though... Why green?

Ha! I beat you to it! Rendering now... Should be about 2 hours.

Heh... :) It was just the first image I picked as an image map - it's an
actual photo of... green leather! No, I didn't like it either, so I've gone
for a plainer look.

Blimey Jim, thanks!

Check the next one out soon.

Mmm, there's something about the combination of photons and the refraction that
makes it look really pretty. I'll look forward to the next version you
mentioned :)
I notice there are some black areas (on the left, and at the bottom on each
corner) - is this a max_trace_level hit or is it reflecting or refracting
something out to the sides that's black? If the latter, you could use this to
your advantage - put something coloured out there with a high ambient (maybe a
burnt orange/yellow?) and use it to accentuate the edges.
As others have mentioned the background might need changing - how about a deep
rich blue?
Nice work :)

Nice, but like others, I think the background texture is, well, not the
greatest. Also, I'm not crazy about the marble texture either (POV materials
are so overused and also are not the best). The slant is also distracting
for me, it would not be so bad if at least one edge of the shelf/mantle were
visible. Finally, the transition from wall to mantle needs work. The piece
is pretty good, but I don't like the setting too much overall. Now, if you
placed it on a coffee table in front of the mantle and have the fire
reflecting faintly off of it, and make it glossier and melting...

Phew! That was a long 2 hours! ;)
Ok, I've implemented Lance' deep rich blue as the background - not too sure
about it, but would appreciate other's thoughts.
Thomas' suggestion of having the 'ice' block melting is there now too, and
I've added a couple of brass beasties with fiery flames, as a kind of
surreal effect to go with the melting ice...
Oh, and I've moved the camera back a little as per nobody's suggestion,
but if this image isn't going to work out, I'll probably follow his other
advise and do the whole fireplace thing instead... Or both. Hmm...
Oh again, and what do you think of the red flames this time?
