A Birdy On Fire!!!

Well, this is more like an advertisenment of the "x" brand of this matches and I would like to hear from your opinion about the image I just did.
Thanks to everybody for your votes.
Well, the technique I applied on the image is that I painted the background black, loaded the image, and free-transformed it to get the size visible on the image.
Then, I just made a series of brushes some of a 500 px and some of a 100 px and the color I just selected from the box of the matches.
then to all the brushes I just lowered down the opacity to a 50% and to the matches I pluged in a 75% opacity and thats it.
For the lettering, I used a font called franklin gothic demi bold or something like that and made a copy to make the reflection just as is seeing below.
Well, I think that those are all the steps that I applied on the image to get the the advertisenment.

Please, don't tell me this is not a maze. After two bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon everything look like a maze ;)
