Comment by emoons:
Ok, so the plant is an aspidistra, but other than that, I don't see the relationship with the book other than the one word in the title.

For the pic:
It would have been a good play on words had the plant been suspended in air or something. I would have liked to have seen more detail in the greener areas as well. Maybe a thinner angle for the bottom of the leaf too.

Gave it a 3

Seems like a good composition only a bit too much of the subject in the foreground which to me seems to hold the movement inspired. Lovely contrast and exposure, nicely isolated form the black background. 6

A match with aspirations; really meant of being a lamp
Nice feeling with an extreme economy of means

I suppose Gordon, but not Rosemary, will be happy. A nice, simple image that fits with the title. 5.

I gave this shot a 5. I like the detail and clarity. The perspective from the side of the match is nice. I just don't find it very interesting.

I like the way the depth of field creates a diagonal.
