Post-Processing:
Crop. sharpen. adjusted the colour of the background on the right side as it overpowered the match.
Extra Info:
These matches are old and do not light well. However, not having a big flame reduced the problem of blown highlights in the flame.

Good try with the match but it doesn't seem quite sharp. There is also colour banding on my monitor, and where did the right angles come from in the top right corner? I'll have to give this a go myself one day.

Good idea, but I know you can do better than this. It's a bit tame IMHO.

Beautiful! I love the colours and the soft glow. I can feel the warmth. Top 2.

Focus seems a bit soft here on the non-burning part. Is that on purpose?

Cool shot! Err, I mean hot! I like the effect.

I like your explanation on how you achieved this. Indeed the flame and the surrounding light is beautiful.
Old Finn

Really a macro photo. Good sharpness and well composed. In my TT

I have tried this many times and never could obtain a great image. You have succeeded nicely. The detail is wonderful. Congratulations on a job well done.

I like the patterns created by the different temperatures around the match and there's plenty of detail in the burnt match-head.

Wonderful close up. Beautiful background makes this image.

Nice concept, nicely done. I'd be more worried about the problem of melting some of my camera's many plastic parts.

Nice detail in the match head, and interesting colour patterns.
