Hi from the Critique Club,
You asked for your shot to have an in depth comment from a member of the Critique Club.
An interesting shot and description, on DPC you learn something new every day!
There is something about this shot, that feels odd. I believe for me it is the burnt out matches. The burnt out matches are brilliant, but it almost seems as though they where very over sharpened and you have halos around them. They are almost disconnected from picture. I am not sure if this was caused by the sharpening or if it is the white background.
Talking of white backgrounds, you flame is almost lost within the background, but in saying that if you chose a black one then the burnt out ones would not show.
I think that this is and was a very hard subject to photograph and I think you did amazingly well with it.
