Inside the bowl, I had a small tea light. I tried to catch the match as it was lit by the tea light. The only editing done was a crop and resize.

My only complaint being that you are so close and the image is out of focus the light becomes more intense maybe if you had gone about and fixed the exposure so the fire was more poignt even though its out of focus by being less bright it would have more effect but I love the abstract shaping.

FOCUS! If I didn't read the title, I wouldn't have a clue what this is. Set a manual focus, then shine a bright light on the area and hold down the shutter halfway to set the exposure, then turn off the light, light the match and snap the shutter. It's tricky, but do-able.

The overall lack of focus obscures the message of this photo.

Interesting idea, too blurry to make out details.

The idea of capturing a match at the moment of ignition is perfect for this challenge. It is not easy to do. You need to have a clear focal point and the flame is overexposed.

Thought this was a little overexposed in the falme area.

Too out of focus, no recognizeable flame - just bright glare.

Without the title, I wouldn't have known what it was. Out of focus, and very bright.
