 Heart-shaped ice cube on wooden pole in garden... allowed to melt a little. Rotated 90 ccw, auto-levels, boosted green saturation, amended colour balance. Unsharp Mask, and NeatImage.
This image seems to really resonate with me at the moment... perhaps it may be a little too abstract for the DPC crowd. We'll soon see!

Excellent idea, just wish the upper left part of the heart were more in focus as its the only unclear part of the picture. Also the border seems to be crowding in on the left part of the heart. 7

I like the green background - it makes me thin of soft moss. Lots of nice little details in the ice - a little soft on the left edge, but what can you do with melting ice?

Nice, but is crying out for a little water drop hanging from it.

I think a red background or a blue background would have worked better, if possible. Otherwise a neat idea.

Not sure why the out of focus area on the left. I guess the lighting bounced and you tried to correct it.

A very cool image and cool imagery - but I find myself wishing for a little bit more DOF and some more space around the image. (6)
