I'm sure this won't do well, but as they say, practice makes perfect :D
I used a fog filter (wish I had an actual soft focus filter) cause I felt it emphasizes the idea of Romance. I only wish I were allowed to remove the fill light's reflection in her left eye, should've repositioned the lights.
I have an outtake of this, I'll post it after the challenge if anyone requests it.
The most important thing is that I had fun shooting this, and I learned a lot about using diffused lights.
Thanks for watching and voting.

I gave this a very high score but from my short affiliation with this site, you're going to get clobbered for the soft focus from others- to many unless it's knive-edge sharp it's not any good.
Sorry but I have never been a fan of soft focus low contrast shots and this is no exception, I just simply do not like the outcome. Just figured I owed you an explanation as to why I only gave it a 4.
like the soft dreamlike effect, but the contrast seems almost too high. my eyes are having trouble focusing on something. I wish the eyes and heart didn't compete so much for my interest. Perhaps I'd like this more if the crop was tighter on one of them.
