I had this idea, but thought it might be kind of lame. I tried it anyway. Dipped all of the matches in water, but one. Set them in the match box, then had everything ready, on a black backdrop, and click. I only got one shot and this is it.

Sometimes that is all it takes is ONE shot...simple and to the point..believe me..alot of my good photo's are one shot.. this pic has a good feel to it..I think everything worked... WTG
I actually thought the contrast and grain in this really suited Judy...I read some of the comments below...I think this was a great shot that deserved better...
I like the idea and the composition for the most part but it looks too contrasty for me. Not sure if this is a grunge attempt or not but the effect that the extra darkening adds doesn't seem to enhance the photo in a positive way for me. Perhaps its the subject matter, not sure, just seems like an extra tacked on with no real purpose (I'm sure there is one but the need didn't come across to me as a viewer). I gave a 5
Oh wow. Awesome concept. Awesome execution. I love how the brown fades into the background... maybe the matches on the left could be a bit less tilted to the left? But that's not a big thing. You have really captured, I think, what your title says, and you definitely evoked emotions from me.
Excellent set up. Bit harsh on the contrast (intentional maybe?) and I think this would have been ok as a centered composition. Nonetheless, great challenge entry :)
