 Thanks for the votes and comments everyone. It was a fun challenge to do since I normally don't do many studio type shots. Always good to get out of my comfort zone.

If anyone is interested, here's one of the outtakes. Done many times before so went with the heart instead.

I really enjoy this. You balanced the colors so nicely. If you do stock photography, I bet this would sell well.
