Well I'm sure and I'm sure it's a great image.
Maybe room for some fine tuning but basucally I think it is on track.
I particularily like the lighter, refracted blue in the ice/glass above
the "flames"
I also think that the rich wood color makes and important contribution.
The color scheme is basically the three "primaries" red/blue/yellow.
The difficult place is perhaps the grey area under the mantel but the
way the picture crops right along the line of the tiles saves it.

I like it so far, but I'll be a little critical for you:
1) A shinier, more reflectier, brassier texture on the dragons (if you
like...)
2) The water drops should not be pointed at the top, but rather be
elliptical (pointy drops is something we all draw as kids, but doesn't
exist in reality). Also, have the water pool extend around the edge of the
mantle and the drops forming below. As it is right now, the drops look like
they are dropping off the top or side of the mantle which doesn't look
right.

2 hours is long for a rendering? I thought a 1000 is long... :)

The first image was a great image, now this is a fab image! It looks very
alien to me, both warm and inviting and glowing and ominous - very well
done.

Heh... :) I'd like to try that myself, but the other half would slap
me! :oO

I could keep this image to a fairly low compression this time because of the
change in that back wall...
I've added some <hopefully!> velvet-looking fleur-de-lis patterns as the
background wallpaper... And a pencil.
I plan to add an openly ripped letter, and some coins too, and maybe a
mirror behind the ice block... (not sure).
The rounded drips (re-modeled now) are there as per Somebody's
suggestion, but I would like further comments on these...?
What other things have you got on your mantle at this moment?

Ah.
Yes...
I must admit it didn't immediately convey to me "fire and ice". More
like "hey, there's a lump of glass with a cool pattern inside it!"

To borrow the catchphrase of a certain infamous American institution...
"I'm lovin' it."
Definitely conveys "fire" much more strongly now. (Not sure about the
"ice" part yet... maybe some of the extreme edges could be slightly cloudy?)

Much better than the second one, except for one thing: that pencil lying
there, all nice and straight, is really bugging me. Just add a little
random rotation, and it will be great :)
