Collection: Successful Challenge Entries
Camera: Sony DSC-V1
Location: Lakewood, Ohio
Date: Feb 14, 2006
Aperture: 3.5
ISO: 200

I was torn between this and a drippy condensation window heart ...
I just can't resist a 24 hour challenge!
Shot this with my Sony V1 ... I'm remembering how versatile it is (as long as I use 100iso and have a nice amount of light).
Anyway, I removed some of the visible siding outside - cloned in some tree ... removed a painting above my head - adjusted the color ...
once again -- late for work. But seriously - I was thinking about my wife (and daughter) during this shot... and now ... but she'll kill me when she knows about it :)

Great shot. I guess that a crop of a horizontal section could hace been much more effective (cutting just above the harts shadows and just above the [disturbing] ring of the model).

the heart shadows are a nice touch.
but his expression looks as though he's about to burst out laughing or burst out in the toilet!!!!!

Very clever. Excellent composition. A little loss of shadow detail with the lighting, but overall a very good job.

I like the concept very much. I think it might be better without the paper hearts in the window... perhaps a tighter crop?

I love the lighting here. Works really well, because it creates depth in the face and draws the eye to the interesting shadows (including the hearts). I think with the editing you could have maybe cloned out the hearts on the window and just left the shadows of the hearts above the head.

Great idea and very suiting title, this should end up high, even get a ribbon imo.

Really well done. Awesome lighting, angle and composition. Very well thought out and well executed. His expression is perfect for telling the story. The blinds at the top are a bti distracting. It would be better with a solid shade, I think. 9 from me.
