Nice photo very smooth smoke and flame. I really like how the match hasn't finished lighting yet also. I believe this will either take 1st place and if not its definatly in the top 3. Nice Job. 8
Post actions
Love the smoke...simple idea but excellent capture!
Post actions
Good. Very, very good! OK it $W)(* excellent. The detail on the smoke and the flame and the match stick is exquiste. The smoke detail is a picture in and of itself. WOW and 10 from me.
Post actions
Beautiful color and exposure. Love the smoke. A little off balance to the left, but nothing major. 10
Post actions
Simple and perfect. Great image, good luck.
Post actions
This turned out very nice. I love the smoke and black background. Very strong image.
Post actions
Can't wait to see how many go's this took. Very well composed and great exposure. Tops all the way around.
Post actions
Excellent picture!
Post actions
Nice composition and sharpness and lines. The smoke adds interest to the "usual" match shot.
Post actions
My personal thought is a ribbon is on its way!
Post actions
I'm not sure if I've already left a comment or not, but you just know a winner when you see one and this one is a winner. Fanstastic picture. I'd love to see how you accomplished this.
Post actions
Best match photo I've seen thus far. Good job!
Post actions
I like how this is different then most of the flame shots. This one includes the beauty of the smoke. The great shapes and forms that it make while it floats up. "10"
Post actions
love the smoke swirls nice detail
Post actions
Awesome job of capturing the smoke! Your matchstick seems a little over sharpened or overexposed. Nice shot overall!
Post actions
What's being questioned in this shot? Nice capture, the smoke is a neat touch, good color and lighting, nice composition.
Post actions
Beautiful shot, great timing and exposition. Great detail in all elements.
Post actions
I look forward to seeing how you got this just right.
Post actions

High quality image; great capture of an igniting match. Clearly top three material.
Post actions
wow ... what a photo the best of the fire ... 10/10
Post actions
Post actions
You certainly got the shot at the exact moment of ignition. Great job. I love the white vapors The black background makes a very striking composition.(9)
Post actions
good catch, great timing, and a nice combination of flames and smoke. The image looks a bit oversharpened, some highlights appearing around the edges.
Post actions
Post actions
great capture of the match igniting. I wonder how may matches it took to catch it?
Post actions
Best of the best! Was the smoke added or induced with some material or actually part of the flame up from the sulfur? Crisp and clean. 10 here. When this is over, can we see the intial shot before any work was done on it (if any)?
Post actions
My favorite of the "match" shots, the swirling smoke makes this interesting by adding a third ephemeral subject. Something about the match and match head don't seem right. Over all well done.
Post actions
My top two...I like this one. The smoke is awesome!! Good luck.
Post actions
Post actions
All simple images have to have something special and this shot has.
Post actions
Post actions
Absolutely terrfiic smoke! Nice one.
Post actions
Great timing on this - very clear, I like the smoke and the intensity of the flame
Post actions
great smoke, must have taken a while to get this result!
Post actions
Possibly the most interesting shot in the challenge - love the work on the smoke, as much as the flame itself.
Post actions
Timing is evreything in this hoto, well captured! 8
Post actions
Excellent work, love the smoke ,9
Post actions
Great shot! very nice sharp details. Nice job.
Post actions
Excellent, the softness of the flame is really effective.
Post actions
I like it...tried the same thing, couldn't get it...good job...the smoke really helps make the shot...
Gotta light?
