 This was a really difficult one to get the exposure correct on - and then sometimes when I got that right, the matches wouldn't light properly. Went through almost a whole box of kitchen matches to get this one. Then I had a difficult time picking which to enter. I think this one is the most dynamic composition of any of the shots that I took. Cropped a couple of matches out on the right where the fire wasn't burning straight "up" enough, then adjusted levels and contrast.
