 Bleh. Life has been too hectic to shoot for a while so this shot is just the result of my longing to have the update button once again. I needed a little stress relief so when the apple challenge came up I knew a "pinning" was in order! I couldn't quite get the pins perfect because they were interfering with one another but the heart shape is clear enough so I can deal with it.

Shot outside in the shade against some wallpaper we got on sale at Lowe's. We are going to use it as a portrait backdrop ($3 a roll!).

Shot in RAW - RAW conversions. Photoshop - levels, neat image, USM, selective color, curves, crop, border, save for web.

I really like the textured surface - did you make it? Nice creative take on the apple and nice focus & color.

Awesome job on the pins. That is really impressive to get such a uniform shaped heart.
