 I had a lot of fun with this challenge and learnt quite a bit about PhotoShop post editing too. :)

Hopefully it does well, as I really like the concept, (fingers crossed). Not that happy with the heart on the hand, maybe I should have rotated it or something? Ran out of time as as you do in these 24hr challenges.

PS Post Processing:

Levels,
Curves,
20% Saturation on entire image,
Cut heart shape to layer,
New layer for hole in chest inner shadow,
Seperate image (layer) for face,
Shadow and back glow for heart on hand,
Flatten,
Dodge and Burn where required,
Clown some spots on suit,
Rezize,
USM,
Save for web.

Great idea! nitpick: a tad to bright on the hands. Great sharp capture though. - 8

a nice idea.
it just took me a little too long to work it out.
maybe it's because it's early here!!!!
or maybe a larger hole would have had more of an impact?
