For me, taking a picture of fire is very challenging, especially to get it crisp. In this case, the 'capture' seems pretty solid, but the flame is a little blown and soft. Still, good capture!

I like it- but it looks a tad overdone.... maybe simpler would've been better...

Fire is very difficult to capture well. I know, I've tried many times. You have a bit of blow-out above the match, which takes away from an otherwise very good image. The only way I've found to have this type of shot work is to use another medium power light source, from a complementry angle, which will reduce the impact of the fire on the exposure, and then play with sat and contrast in post-processing. Good Luck. A 6 from me.
