Special thanks to all you folks who left your comments.
Was a pretty simple setup with a black cloth in the background and a simple light from the left , otherwise the matchsticks would've been much too dark. Was shot in manual mode, picked the best settings as to not blow the highlights and not get the image too dark.
PS work: Noise reduction, Levels, Shadow/Highlights, Saturation. and very minor cloning to the match on the left. Photo was sharpened after being resized. The image was not flipped just cropped.
Tried this unique frame hoping it would balance out this somewhat unusual composition.
Here's an outtake
Went with the posted one because I thought it had more originality and interest. In any case, I'm glad I posted it :)
Cant be sure how the other one (outtake) would've been perceived.

Pass It On"It only takes a spark,...to get a fire go-ing,...And soon all those around,...can warm up in its glowing. That's how it is... with God's love,...once you've experienced it. It makes me sing,...It's fresh like spring,...I want to pass it on."
THE FLAME CONCEPT BURNING ON THE THE OTHER MATCH IS A GREAT CONCEPT SOME OTHER ENTRIES HAD THIS CONCEPT INVOLVED IN IT. THIS IS GREAT AND THE TITLE IS GREAT
