In a fire challenge, a successful match photo will do more than just light them. Aside from being yet another match photo, the trailing end of the flame is cut off at the left. I feel like I'm only looking at part of the action.
Overall I think this is a nice shot - nothing overly impressive, but still a solid entry. The shape might be better maintained without the flame in the background, but that's really nitpicky. (Maybe this is what your title refers to?)
