I can't fault this one, and I know I just love it, even though I have no idea how it was done.....

Oh goodness. There goes my idea of abstract macro. This is lovely!

I think you are right about the like it or do like it, but I for one like it. I wish I understood the techniques used in lighting more, and this is a true example why. I think it so cool that you can turn a simple thing as a match stick into art. Great JOB

This is my least fav of all, sorry. It's way too high key for my taste. The blue one also has some slight discoloration.

I like the concept... the "blue" match seems a little washed out, but other than that, another good high key shot.

well, in regards to that white box bottom right when you're editing a picture just turn up and down the brightness- you would be able to catch things like that then. People will never have all thier monitors calibrated the same anyways...

I like this image. It is well balanced and focused just where it needs to be. The color and burn are great contrasts. The border does not seem to add anything to the whole. I see areas of patchy white blocks that have been added to the interior (perhaps to create a more high key approach, but on a calibrated monitor, are distracting (making the matches look added in as opposed to photgraphed).

I personally would drop the border and try to match the white blocked areas to the rest of the grey background (may need to increase the brightness on your monitor to see what I am seeing.)
