I like this image, there's nice clarity and contrast with the main subject and the lighting is excellent there. I do think this would be more powerful if the hand was cropped out. There is a lot of life, clarity and action in the sparks and whatnot so it makes the duller, less lit fingers look subpar in comparison. Cropping the fingers out instantly keeps the attention on the spark area and leaves it there, nothing for the eye to wander to. I gave a 5 but without the fingers I would've rated it in the 6 for sure possibly 7.

Nice capture and different from the usual flames used in this challenge - the fingers in shot are a good touch

I like the light on the fingers and the sparks from the match (?) are good :o)

The visible thumbs do nothing for this shot. There are a lot of matches in this challenge, and so a match shot needs to really stand out to do well.
