 Winter weather and lack of sun bumming me out a little, and now that Valentine's Day has finally come and gone, leaving red salt in the wounds of the singles, am glad that I no longer have to see fake hearts everywhere.

Hello from the critique club

An appealing image the meets the challenge well

A lovely find for the subject Susan. The natural heart shape fits the challenge brief perfectly. The lighting is good bringing out the delicate details well. I like the diagonal of the heart that you have chosen for your composition. There is a little background distraction but it is not significant enough to adversely affect the end result. I hope your own romance is still thriving?

Nice one! I had imagined that they were floating on water. (Do you have any water this time of year?)

I love the winged whirly bird seed especially when they are in love. Nice capture.
