This is my third submission. I had grand ideas about this one, but they didn't really come out as I thought. I basically did it with 3 hours left in the challenge (probably not the best idea). I wanted to submit something though.
The lighting isn't that great, and the detail I was hoping to get with the "teardrops" wasn't there. Not sure if it was the choice of lens or just the proximity to the paper. Definitely need more help with the lighting. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Played with it in Photoshop Elements 2.0:
- Cropped
- USM
- Changed levels
- Changed contrast and brightness slightly
- Removed color, and lightened reds to make her hand a little lighter.
Thanks to my wife Esra for posing for me. She displayed quite a lot of patience between all the setting up and checking of shots.

You should at least have written the letter by hand, and chosen a paper that looks less like it came just out of a printer. Your idea is good, but I don't like the perspective that much. What about taking the shot from behind her, using head and shoulder to frame the letter? 6.
