This is one of the best photos, a top 10 if not a ribbon. Excellent contrast, lighting, DOF - it looks like all the technicals are right, and the subject matter is right on with an interesting twist.10.

This is a study which required more attention. I am guilty of this, so what i say applies to us both. The idea is superb but you are presenting the eye with one implied line to put together. Why not continue the matches around to form a U. This would give the study a perpective variation and a pleasing line ro bring the eye back into the image. I would have also considered some alternate takes with lighting. You get a 5 for meeting the challenge and 1 more for concept. 6

genius, and an excellent capture of the action to boot. I am thoroughly impressed with this and i think it completely deserves a top 3 slot (haven't finished voting - but so far i'd say this is #1). the sharp detail of the matches, and the lighting upon them, is great. it suits the challenge brilliantly, and is quite frankly, fab. 10.

Wow, great idea! I just wish the photo was sharper and there was more detail in the fire.

terrific photo. I wish the smoke stacks were producing more steam for this shot.
maybe next time you can go and knock on the managers door and ask them to point some lights at the steam?
hahaha
just kidding.
good overall photo!

Bongo, great job on your BLUE. You've been wanting and waiting and there you go. That really didn't take too long, did it? We'll celebrate on Thursday. By the way, get back to work. All the best in your future submissions! Hollywood.
