WOW this is awesome, I love the cool look of this image

Your lighting is perfect, this should have placed much much higher.

wow this didn't even break 6? I am pretty surprised, maybe you match wasn't big enough :P. The only thing I can think to improve the shot isn't necessarily a tighter crop but one where the subject is down more so there is some black on the top and maybe move the subject only slighly to the middle so there is still lots of negative space. I like all the black :)

yes, perhaps a tighter crop, but excellent effort.

Pretty cool image, but the match is really hard to see.

A little lopsided due to the expanse of dark space to the left.

This is classy!!! Perhaps the composition could be improved a bit, but the concept is great; a very compelling shot.

I can barely see the match (although I see the hand and forehead clearly). Witty idea and nicely edited.

Great idea, but I am afraid it's lost in the dark. I would have liked to see a litlle more detail. (7)

Cool film noire kind of feel to this. I really like the negative space surrounding the 3 parts. Bumping up to 8.
