Something old and something new. I've done flowers to death, but I've never done an iris! So here you go :)
I also thought I'd try something a little more challenging, and boy was it a challenge. Shot with my macro set up, the match was a little disconcertingly close to the lens! With one match held in place with Nomi's "helping hands" mounted jewelery tweezers, another was lit and brought up beneath it to light it. I tried so very hard to catch the flame in the initial flash, but I wasn't able to freeze the movement enough to make it look clear. I got better results with slower shutter speeds of a few seconds after iginition. I might try again sometime.

The iris is spectacular. It's a shame you didn't quite get the effect you were after with the matches, but they still make for a very nice photo.
