jmsetzler: you are right, I had other ideas but not enough time to use them. So I took a "default" choice.
But I'm still quite happy with this shot : I'm not use to create and compose photos in DPC style, so for a new experiment I take it as "not so bad".
I'll try to involve myself harder for the next shots.
Thanks for the critique. |

Greetings from the Critique Club...
The photo meets the challenge... no issues there. Subjectively, I find very little to no interest in the subject. I guess an image like this has a limited audience. Technically I don't care for the exposure being high key and I can't see any reason that all the matches should not be in focus. There isn't really a compositional element to discuss in an image of this nature because of what it is. It's over my head :)
IMO, this photo is something put together just to have an entry into the challenge rather than having some sort of personal meaning or involvement with the subject. Sometimes these images work and sometimes they don't. Yours fell mid pack in the challenge. None of your comments received during the challenge discussed your choice of subject, so none of those viewers probably connected with it either... |

| I thought these were shrooms at first. The bottoms are way to blown out on my monitor and Im not digging all the white space.I would have cut the matches down too to various sizes...they just seem to static. |

| I don't think the negative space adds much here. Try a tighter crop and see what you think. |

| I like it, but with the smoke would have gotten a 10 from me. |

| I like the idea, but the depth of field feels too shallow for this particular capture. It looks like the back matchsticks are falling off into softness. In my opinion, of you are using nine objects in a challenge that is titled Nine, all nine subjects should be in crisp focus. I like the composition. 5. |
