having seen others try to photography sparkling objects...very good job on the light management. The thing that hurts it for me is the background...a colored cloth, black cloth, a loving face or something like that in the background would have pumped this up.
I like the colors. I don't care for the white edge/frame at all. Can't say the subject is particularly interesting. I think I'd like it better if the heart were smaller in the frame and more to the side.
I'm glad you didn't only take a picture of the heart as many others would have done. The cool blue background adds a lot and makes t look like an ice heart. Very cool effect and a beautiful composition!
Lovely background - compliments the subject very nicely. If this is an ornament on a Christmas tree like I am guessing it might be you did a very creative and beautiful job with processing it. (Even if not, I do love the processing!)
