Very creative!

It always seems like everybody else is fine when your heart is broken doesn't it?

Lovely concept but the flaring on the soaps and the background colour needs a little work :)

I like the idea here. You could use more lighting though, but diffused so you don't get highlights on the hearts.

This shot would be more interesting from a lower angle. Also needs more lights, and more diffused lights to avoid the darkness mixed with blow outs and the out of focus effect.

Wow, are they shellacked? I like the shine and good focus on the text, but possibly a more contrasting backdrop or avoiding monochromatic colorizing would improve this.
