Straight and Level

Comment by Melethia:
Kind of a nifty response to the challenge - the shot is competent, but does need a boost in levels. No, seriously, though I just realized that is kinda funny... the light/upper end needs a boost, either via levels (most likely) or brightness contrast.

Lovely shot. I like the warm monotone - goes well with the warmth of feeling.

Love the reflections - they give an almost supernatural feel to the image.

Hi from the Critique Club

You asked for a comment from a Critique Club member.

This is the coolest shot. You have the most amazing leading lines, you are crisp, clean and clarity is tremendous. Your HDR here shows people what it can be, not the grainy stuff we are so often confronted with. Your POV is excellent, the half empty shows us what could be, what has been. Your DOF is great, I really feel the height in this shot.

I am not a huge fan of borders, but this suits this shot to a T. I can imagine this on any postcard and selling like hotcakes.

Well done

Comment by geinafets:
I'm sure you cut off the bottom of the image because you are hiding whatever is holding up the matches, but I think the image would be stronger if the match box was more prominent in the frame, both to add some color/take away some of the white and to put the bulk of the detail in the same place. As it is now, my eye wants to bounce between the match heads and the box.
