Not the most original take on "Macro Trash", I know, but the best "trash image" I was able to take today. Since in many countries an Easter fire also is a century-old tradition, a burnt match head might even be an appropriate "match" for Easter Monday.
The striking surface of the matchbox didn't work any more, I broke the match in half while trying to light it on the striking surface, so I thought I'd light it with a lighter and nearly scorched my thumb, but I was able to pull my hand back fast enough ;) Don't play with fire at home...
I've used the extension tubes (10 and 26mm) and the Raynox DCR-250 to get as close to the match head as possible. The image is an in-camera focus stacking made of 15 images, processed in DXO PhotoLab 4 and Analog Efex (Vignette and Film type "Warm").
Happy Macro and Easter Monday, Everyone!
