Hey what's everyone going on about the border.. I think it adds a lot to the pic.
And I'm surprised by the placing of this pic though I suppose people want a lot more obvious stuff for their palates.
Anyway still a very very cool pic..(yes that is the word that probably describes it best in my mind)

| Hmmm, I gave this an 8. I guess I don't have the same taste as the voters in this challenge. The only thing that didn't appeal to me a lot was the border, but I don't usually mark down for borders. I'm surprised this scored where it did. |

Greetings from the Critique Club!
Now that would be progess to a point, that is for sure, LOL! Great idea and not a bad overall execution of the idea. Some notes were already given in the comments, let me see what I can add here.
Okay, first, the border does work well with this shot, sometimes these borders can be tricky but for this one I like it, adds to the shot, doesn't take away.
Next, the flame, again, great timing but two little things bother me. First that the flame is out of focus when the thumb is sho clear and second the flame on the left side of the thumb, I would expect it to come more over the top and possibly to one side if the wind is blowing, but it's leaning to the right and still showing some on the left of the thumb. From this angle it seems off for some reason.
Another thing that stands out for me is the thumb itself. It is the main focus of your shot here and while not a bad looking thumb, a little bit of filing and a coat of polish, color or clear would really make this thumb much nicer to look at. It's all in the little details sometimes, irritating, yes, worth it, OH YES! :)
Other that those things, this is a very interesting shot and looking at your profile, you have some wonderful ideas, a great eye and lots of potential. I look forward to seeing more of your work!
Hope my comments help and Good Luck in Future Challenges!

| I guess if the flame were in focus it would seem like it was coming from the finger. . . |

| I don't know...lighting a cigarette with your thumb is a thing of the past. I like the photo though...nice job. |

| This is a very interesting picture and pretty well done (though I'm on the fence about the border). I do have to admit that I'm not sure of the challenge connection. |

| Nice idea but...the border doesnt add to the image and I'd have liked the end of the cigarette to be in focus |
