Fantastic! I wonder how many people (like me) scored this high on nostalgia value alone, echoing as it does the much-discussed color-switched red, green, blue smoke image? Congrats and blue and 2 in a week.

While five spent matches don't usually pique my interest, you managed to arrange them in a pleasing way and the smoke trailing off is just mesmerizing. Everything is edited very well and the focus and DOF is spot on. Bumping up.

i love this photo. the texture as achieved in the match heads to the dance of the smoke..
one of my top 3 choices
Photographer found comment helpful.

one of those wow shots. the details on the spent matchheads are striking, perfectly set off by the dissipating smoke. the arrangements of the sticks is evocative of a v(5) and that adds to the theme requirements. perfect lighting. i admire this shot and happy to rate this one of five 10s in the challenge.

I like the way that the blach match heads are separated from the black background by the drifting white smoke patterns. Not sure about central composition but do like the detail.

I've never seen matches look so good! Skillful execution! You're obviously a much better photographer than me, but I am wondering about the composition -- or lack thereof. Would it have been a stronger image if the cropping put the matches on the left and the smoke trail leading to the right?

Nice!! Centered - which seems to be considered such a no-no, but I like the effect. Sharp foreground, fuzzy background and lighting that gives it a 3D quality. Very nicely done!
