nice macro, but it feels like there is almost a depth of field issue going on, as if the flame is some distance behind the match and it doesn't feel as if the match has actually been lit. it's a weird optical illusion i guess. it's a nice study of what happens once a match is struck, but i do with the flame element was more defined. 6.
This is beautiful. I have always liked the way that matches have the second flame that "drips down" from below (the flame that starts to the left on your image). I like how you captured this, as well as the match in mid-burn (some charred portion and some non-charred portion visible). I like how the match head fades into the background, and how there are such fine details visible on the match. What I love most of all is the magenta and blue colors that are visible at the bottom. Truly a wonderful and uncommon image of a common subject.
