I remember when I was younger, I saw a movie about the Little Match Girl. She was homeless, sold matches, and at the end of the movie, she kept lighting what she had left to keep her warm. So she had passed in the night, but had moved on to the warmth and love of her grandmother in heaven. OMG did that make me CRY!
Since the passing of my Barney beagle, I've kind of been in a sentimental mood. So in it goes, a picture that will most likely finish at the bottom, lol.

I don't know the story of the Little Match Girl and now that I have read your comments I see what a powerful picture this is. Well Done Michelle. Very well done.
hmmmm yes lets not talk about the story of the little match girl as I am a chap and therefore suppose to be TOUGH. There were a few LMG images in the challenge and this had (genuinely) been my favourite of them
Love the B&W (and knowing the story the dead matches are a poigniant depiction of it) and I thought that the shadow 'picking up' the dead match was a very clever touch. From my perspective I may have liked to see a bit more space between the spent matches and the border, but I thought this was a cool shot
This is a bit confusing, I'm not entirely sure what this is, but it looks kind of neat. I think part of what's confusing me is the texture of the surface the matches are on. Good try though.
An interesting picture but unfortunately I just don't get it. I can see burned matchsticks in what appears to be water and someone going to pick one up. I just don't get what's going on here...or what makes it particularly "Fairy Tale". As a photo it's really interesting and thought provoking, but as a Fairy Tale it's just too much of a reach.
