I like the drops on the nice deep red of the pepper. Very well done. The smoke isn't working for me though. Maybe there's too much, or it's too obviously coming from behind the pepper. It's a bell pepper, right? Which are sweet-tasting...not hot...maybe that's a picky detail but it's distracting

Nice job with the smoke, actually, nice job of everything! I like the water droplets on the pepper too, adds visual interest.

not keen on the harsh light reflections on the pepper but sharp enough focus etc

That's some wicked smoke. You've done a great job lighting that smoke to bring out all of it's whirly whimsy. Unfortunately, and I'm sure you noticed, you blew out the detail on the match.

I'm not sure what your lighting setup was, but it may have been possible to shield the match from some of that light by putting an object between it and the light source. I'm not saying it would be necessarily easy to shadow just the stick without shadowing the smoke or the tip of the match, but I think it's doable.

The composition is a decent and fairly natural choice. I also like the black and white with just a wee bit of an orange burst. The sharpness seems to fallen a bit behind the match and landed on the smoke. One could argue that the smoke is the intended focus though, especially given your title.
