Strike One

Nicely captured ... great composition. The blown highlights in the flam work here and the fire pattern give a great sens of striking the match, further reinforced by the message on the box. *8*

Very cool match-behind-a-match capture. If I had to nitpick this one it'd be limited to the rear match head being slightly visible right of the foreground match ... otherwise, well executed. *8*

Wonderful capture with great technical qualities ... and nicely processed. The only thing that detracts from this in any way is the red dot in the rightmost mallard's reflection. *9*

A Flare with Flair
by Jaded_Housewife

Comment:
Nicely done. Only criticism -- and likely out of your control -- is that the flame goes outside the frame ... this would be a 10 if the match were further left in the composition and the flame fully captured, but otherwise exactly as seen here. *8*

But WHAT Do They Match??

Observation: The splash of red in the upper corner keeps drawing my eye away from the primary subject(s).

The layout/composition and subject are standout, but I'm not hot on the processing ... it looks like a photo of something on TV. I'm all for creative license and going beyond basic "stock photography" type shots, I just don't see a correlation between the treatment (assuming it isn't actually a photo of something on screen) and the challenge topic.

Nice quality of light and great concept, with the wedding bands set against a corresponding matchbook from the wedding ... two (or three - gold bands, marriage/couple implied, and matchbook) matches in one scene. :) It'd be nice to see just a tick more of the matches peaking out from the matchbook and composition could be stronger.
