Amazingly, nothing in this shot is in focus! This is a lensbaby shot with a homemade heart shaped aperture ring. The out of focus heart shaped bokeh was created by shooting at a wet screen door with an AB400 behind it.

I really, really like this image. I can't wait to see how it was made. I expect it will not score especially well, but I gave it a nine. I particulalry enjoy that you resisted color-shifting to the warmer end of the spectrum. Good luck
Very nice, I typically don't care for abstract images, but this one works. I am not sure about the extent of light/dark changes across the image. It almost fades to white on the top left and to black on the bottom right....a more subtle and less extensive change might have been better....but a high score for this one.
Great idea and a good choice of color. The only thing I could complain about is that IMO it shouldn't have faded quite as much in the top left corner. A smoother transition would have been better for me.
