Matches light on

Greetings from the critique club!

I really enjoy the idea of this image. I also enjoy the intimacy of the framing --it gives my eye a visual flow to follow. However, I think the picture lacks the clarity/sharpness that good focus could bring. I like the texture of the two main colors of the flame. While I don't think there is much you can do about it other than trial and error, the shape of the flames could be more balanced --the heavy weight of the yellow flame is overwhelming the shot and not adding much visual interest. I absolutely love the juxtaposition of the two matches; I think you hit that nail on the head.

Great work.

This is beautiful. I disagree with the comments about a lack of subject and needing a new crop--this is excellent!
