Clever observation and interesting way of making a heart. The lighting is nice with the very dark background and the fade in of the book with really nice inside light inside the heart. Good focus and good lighting and creative idea.

i like the quality in which you presented your photograph of this book. the quality of the image is what makes it interesting to view. it shows a lot of thought and consideration with strong bold background that establishes the open book into the foreground. excellent clarity and presentation. thanks for sharing

Comment from Phyllis Stewart


You did a good job on this, altho it's SO COMMON as to be 'trite' now. I like the black background and the effect from topaz, giving it an ancient look, as if the book is very old... as old as love itself?

The unmistakable symbol of love: the Heart! Makes you think of what kind of love story lies buried deep within its pages, just waiting for you to read. Great composition, great results for the HDR treatment. Well done.

Yes i have seen this effect before and I think you have executed it very effectively.
Certainly would think it qualifies unless they don't allow any mixed media.
It does have a love theme which is always appealing.
I have one suggestion you might consider.
I would paint the white paper cover of the book out leaving just the red brown and black.
Just a thought.

    Thank you so very much! I thought about that but did not think it mattered that much.

    Attention to detail is always important. The white of the paper draws the viewer's eye as white is want to do and it distracts from the fineness of your image. Bren

I like it a lot. You took a simple book and created something unusual. The exposure and lighting are well implemented. The dark background further illuminates the main subject.
