Well I hope to get 6.0 and above...

How it is done ?
Pretty simple - created a heart cut circle to match the front of my lens, then took a piece of black paper and poked holes that will form the word love.

Then I put it on a glass table and put light below it, camera was on a tripod, right on top. Then I played with the focus, put some colored gels on the paper and voila ...

*Critique Club Comment*

I'm so glad you talked about your setup. Reading about it, I gain a deep appreciation for how you got this image. I checked out the site you linked to. Unfortunately it seems as though the emphasis of that page was a bit different from what DPC, in general, would consider bokeh. A foreground object in front of your heart shapes would have met the challenge better, and probably eliminate a lot of the 1s and 2s, I'm guessing. Another thing to work on would be getting a soft, blurry quality to your "circles" of light.

If this is the first time you've used this technique I would encourage you to keep playing around with it because this image really shows a lot of promise and shows that you are capable of working hard to get a result, which can be very important.
