Yes, I know this image would be better if the heart was in focus! I am sure several people will comment on that. However, the lighting conditions were so atrocious that I had to have a super wide aperture that made that impossible. Even with the aperture open I still had to use a ISO of 800. It just wasn't possible to get both in focus with the equipment I had available, and I decided that the actual flower was the more important element.
This was lit with a desk lamp with a shirt over it. Just as i was getting the lighting right the shirt fell off the lamp, onto the petals and scattered everything. It had taken me a half an hour to get the finicky petals into a heart and it was already late, so I had to give up and take the best I had of those I had already shot.
Hopefully people can see that the heart is made out of "bits and pieces" of flower aka petals, otherwise this doesn't really meet the challenge. The idea of petals is common, but I think I put a unique spin on it.
I love the idea, but the technicals are not good. So the score is going to depend on whether people like the idea or dislike the technicals more. Could be a mid to high 5, but could also be a sub-five. Here is hoping people like/get the idea
