 Does anyone have any idea how hard it is to try to light a match with another match while not looking at it? I think Jason burned his hand at least twice...and then I ended up choosing a photo where the matches weren't even touching.

I thought this photo portrayed the title better. The euphemism "Light my fire" to me, is a command: Turn me on. I thought this photo displayed that euphemism better than one with both matches already lit.

Great concept and stunning execution. Your choices were definitely good, I loved the low visibility and softness of the background. Your work should have been in much higher position.

Great setup and like the soft focus, you didn't even need the Title.

That's a really cool flame on the match.

This should place very high - excellent composition as the image gets the point across very effectively. Well done.

I like the picture. The viewer is slightly able to see the background... which makes it more intimate. I like the focus on the matches.
