 I used a match to carefully paint along the 3 bowl of candles to create a shape of heart. The coffee beans themselves create another shape of heart within the outer heart. I was trying to come up with an image for people who love both coffee and candles. I hope I was able to succeed. I haven't done much photoshop on this except for sharpening, brightening, and slightly saturating the image.

I would have been tempted to reshoot to eliminate the stray flame trail on the left side (starting point?).

Interesting photo, couldn't stop looking at it. I like it. :)

Reminds me of this cheesy email I got once... Love is like coffee, it warms your heart when you're cold, gives you a boost when you're ready to fold.
