Me again! Tired of me yet? This was a uber-fun challenge because I got to throw a bit of my graphics knowledge at it. I hope it scores well! PS steps to many to describe - but nothing heroic. :)
A couple of people asked how it was done - nothing fancy really. Just used a shot of me (PS'd to look a little nicer) then pasted many copies of one foiled coverd chocolate candy. Each time I pasted the candy I changed the size and opacity for that 3-d look. The reflections in the eyes are also pasted in, smaller versions of the same chocolate.

I gave this one a 6, and I see I wasn't alone. :o) Really well done. Perhaps a tiny bit more DOF would have made your face a little sharper, but other than that, it's great. It helps that you are really cute, and this is a great pose. Hope you don't take offense to being called "cute"! It's a compliment, believe me...
So I'm voting and get to this photo. I say to myself, "That's idnic. No, that's some 19yo. Well, maybe it's her 20 years ago. It's not one of her daughters. Maybe I've had too much cold medicine."
I really like the whole gig, very heartwarming and just tugs at the whole happy thing. And I like the added touch of the hearts in the eyes.
Yeah right - who could get tired of you, Cindi?! :D I didn't vote on this one, but if I had, I would've requested validation, but then I would remember the special rules and would have given it a 10, but then take a point off because the white thing on your head (sunglasses?)looks weird, but then I'd look at your eyes and add that point back in and then I'd have seen the title and knowing that you know I am already married, I would've been upset that you were taunting me, but I'd get over it and still give you that 10. Yep 10. :D
She is beautiful. I would have chosen to have her chin also in focus, this way it is a bit distracting. Also the white glasses are distracting drawing the attention away from her beautiful face.
I like the photo and concept, but the sunglasses on your subjects head bug me. I had to keep looking in that area of the photo trying to figure out what they were. Nice photo anyway.
Very cute picture, heartwarming and romantic. Took me a bit to notice the hearts in the eyes and made me wish I had thought of that for my entry! I might have lost the sunglasses to let more of the hair forward but then again it adds an element of the challenge to the actual picture so its a good thing. Anyway, well done.
