Be Mine

Nice portrait! The grittiness, exaggerated colour and contrast work well. The eye contact is fantastic. So too is the tight crop (by crop I mean either when taken or afterwards). I'm not sure what the heart is - card? chocolates? - but it doesn't matter hugely.

Sweet! Isn't he young to be mulling over love already or am I just old and forgetting how young one can succumb? :0) I like the plain backdrop and the lighting too though it seems a touch strong. The flowers and their vibrant colours are wonderful. I find the flash of denim distracting and wonder if this would have been stronger had he been shot in plainer underpants or shorts? Off-centred composition with the legs giving depth, works very well.

Innocence

Sweet! I like hte way the child is standing on the edge of the frame - the land is unimportant to the shot and thus excluded - very brave. I like the heart shaped cloud - I might have played around with it a touch to exaggerate the heart shape further but it's certainly discernable. Fun and different!

some Hearts aren't meant to be Broken

Is this a heart of drugs instead of a line? I'm a bit confused as I don't quite get the concept. On the photo front I like the texture and the black and white presentation.

Not entirely sure what I'm looking at but it doesn't matter - it's an abstract object somewhat like a glass lamp with a glittery red heart inside. I like the composition and repeating circles a lot and the colour palette too. Nice one!

Love Hurts

Clever idea! Postprocessing is a little clumsy - I can see hard lines at the edges where you've selectively removed/ whitened the background - around the heart and it's shadow. However, that's something you can definitely redo and tidy up and the idea itself works well.

Cool! Love the colours and textures and the rotated main subject.

The Book of Love

This is a lovely idea and well executed too. I really like your purple toning and the strong vignette too. The strong light and shadows work well - I particularly like how deep the shadow inside the folded pages are - it makes the heart shape really stand out. It's a shame that the page forming the left side of the heart doesn't seem to have the same densely packed text on it as the other tree pages shown - perhaps it's a chapter heading or something? But it's not a big deal. I am curious about what the book is...

Lurve

A clever idea indeed but the heart-shaped smoke doesn't work well for me - because it's quite a dense area of smoke it's more obvious that the edges have been erased away in post-processing. I have no problem with using post-processing by the way, but in this case it doesn't quite create a believable result. My feeling is that if there were just a few strong swirls of smoke, a touch more spread out, and then the edges erased into a heart shape, it might look more natural. Anyway, I still like this shot a lot - the pose and lighting are good and the idea is a fun one!
