Hey so I really like this picture so I'm hoping it does well. So I had the idea of using to Hershey kisses to make a heart but it wasn't till the very last picture that I had the idea to do a multiple exposure. Basically set the shutter to 30 sec and turned all the lights off. I started zoomed all the way in, then using an external flash I zoomed out a little then used the flash once about 7 times. This was taken in my "studio" which consisted of 2 shoeboxes a black shirt and a piece of black construction paper.
Post Processing:
Opened in camera raw and played with exposure
Cropped and rotated
Opened in CS3:
Removed some of the glare from the flash
Whitened the ribbons a little
Cloned out a line where my background (piece of black construction paper) met with the bottom (black shirt)
Sharpened
That’s it!

interesting abstract - i think it would have been better with a little different - more diffuse lighting so that you don't end up with the severe hot spots
Great concept and composition although it is coming up a little dark on my monitor which unfortunately distracts a bit from the overall impact of the shot
