Well, I'm not making that suggestion strongly - more like wondering out loud. Doh on the glass - I was sitting there thinking how amazingly patient you had to be to balance those matches. lol. That is what I get for commenting before coffee. lol. I could see this image on a stock site - especially if you have a color version. Cindy
Thanks for you comment, Cindy :)
Appreciate it. I'll see what I can do about the crop. I put the matches on a piece of glass and the cash underneath, played a bit with the DOF and height settings till I got the effect I wanted for the background. Those pesky matches kept moving around a lot so the little wooden line also acts as stabilizer, I do have a shot without it but like the composition of this one best. I did have to clone out some specks in the glass and a couple of stray burnt ashes.

Interesting image in a number of ways - very creative. Amazing balancing act with the matches. I see why you composed it to have the line of the ten dollar bill existing the corner created by the platform . . . but I still keep wanting to crop a little of the left off to shift the matches just a little more off-center. Not sure if that is good advice - see what others say. Cindy
