Simplicity is the sign of a genius ;-))

I like the gradient of color casting on the wire. I would be surprized if it was done intentionally but the result is superb.

Great picture! I'd love to see to what this fuse is attached.

Could be a candle, could be TNT. I like this!

I like this. It put the Mission Impossible theme music into my head.

nice composition, biut I would rather have seen the fuse already lit, drawing the eye toward the pending explosion

Good shot. Good contrast of color. Good theme interpretation.

Hooray! Another idea that doesn't rely on faces expressing surprise, anger, shock, terror... this is a creative entry and I love the geometric composition - the blue semi-circle dissected by that strong horizontal line and then the asymmetrical match and flame. Wonderful!

Challenge met. Good idea putting the blue spot at the edge of the screen to simulate and explosion.

Creative take on the challenge. I've seen a background like that in the "Letting Go" challenge, maybe you're the same person. Great photo. 10

Good luck...

Technically impressive, but I don't agree that this fulfills the criteria of the challenge. (was this a fire entry) :P

Funny and good.

Very different approach/interpretation. These kind of creative twists already gain extra points from me. And a good image as well, although not a big WOW factor.

Nice photo, I assume it was done like EddyG's "Almost Gone" //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=59658.

Ok, really taken by this one. It has the off screen expectation perfectly. Technique is flawless, and that blue haze to the left is very effective. Truly excellent shot. 10.
