vegetables gone bad, so sad ;-) clever idea, lighting on the forground could be better, a little dark against the pure white background.

For me too much of the flame is blown out here but I do like the detail in the head of the burning match :o)

This image has a surprising amount of personality. The title sets a clever tone to interpret the image. The lighting and use of DOF for selective focusing as well as the composition add drama quite effectively too. I like it alot :)

Comment by Rebecca:
There are too many matches, and hardly any of them are special. This one doesn't stand out for me.

I would have liked to see more detail in the flame and it is a little over exposed. Meets the challenge. 6

Comment by klstover:
The shot does not say explosion to me, as my perception of explosion is bits flying off a central point, but not marking down for that. I could see how you might be getting marked down for harsh contrast, but I personally am a fan of high-contrast shots. I love how the match is in focus so that the small details are visible.

Looks more like resting on a plane of glass than in air. Sorry if I'm wrong.
