I've never seen so many different colors in matches and to put them together makes a beautiful pic. I do like the flame coming off the match and the tad bit of red showing it is very hot! jano

I really like this shot Pops. The colors are great and the flame nicely captured. Yvonne

I agree. Looks better to me too :)

I think, more than anything, what this pic needed was a bit of USM, which I've added. I also applied a litte sharpen tool to the burning match. It looks better to me.

Count on you to come up with a clever "studio" shot. I usually don't like such set-ups, but I almost always am impressed by yours. Very nice (altho the focus seems to be a bit soft).

very nice prop. colored sticks is a very ingenious touch. btw the motion blur on the lit match is a bit distracting. -Abstract

Great shot! I love the anticipation of the "real" heat. - Tom

Nice capture of the burning match. I like the colorful bundle of matches waiting to be lite. theFly
