 I had this idea, but thought it might be kind of lame. I tried it anyway. Dipped all of the matches in water, but one. Set them in the match box, then had everything ready, on a black backdrop, and click. I only got one shot and this is it.

I actually thought the contrast and grain in this really suited Judy...I read some of the comments below...I think this was a great shot that deserved better...

I like the idea and the composition for the most part but it looks too contrasty for me. Not sure if this is a grunge attempt or not but the effect that the extra darkening adds doesn't seem to enhance the photo in a positive way for me. Perhaps its the subject matter, not sure, just seems like an extra tacked on with no real purpose (I'm sure there is one but the need didn't come across to me as a viewer). I gave a 5

Oh wow. Awesome concept. Awesome execution. I love how the brown fades into the background... maybe the matches on the left could be a bit less tilted to the left? But that's not a big thing. You have really captured, I think, what your title says, and you definitely evoked emotions from me.

Nice composition but the lighting/colours on the matches seems a bit strange 9the red tips seem a funny red)

The matches all tend to blur together at the tips

Flame is a bit blown out while matchheads are underexposed. Bow is a bit too dark for my taste as well.

Nice composition but for me the flames is a little too blown out

Excellent set up. Bit harsh on the contrast (intentional maybe?) and I think this would have been ok as a centered composition. Nonetheless, great challenge entry :)

I think the oversaturation works here. What works against you is that matches were a very common theme in this challenge.

This has some WOW in it. I love the negative space and the concept it killer. Perhaps the flame is a tad overexposed. Really neat image. 7

Nice take on the matches theme. I like the off center composition too.

Cool really like the idea and composition. Smart named picture.

A nice idea, but the flame seems to white to be natural to me.

Great lighting. Great processing. Great title. Gets a GR8 score from me.

Apologies for the lame comment.
