That is the most extensive thinking and creating I have done on this site. I am very pleased with the result. The funny thing is, I had a hell of a time accepting that this is "legal". It's tough to accept the "anything goes" rules.
Anyway, the shot simply started as a "x-ray" shot done before. I thought I could add something special to it. But then my mind went into the multiple exposures mode and figured now is as good a time as any to give it a shot.
The concept is about loving yourself. I am not advocating this, I thought it would simply be hilarious and a little weird.
The camera was kept in same spot and used my SB-600 bounced off ceiling to light up shadows. I took 6 shots and combined them so I was in front of myself in the correct spots. The x-ray was clearly already on the monitor and the multiple hearts in hand were added later. I took a picture of that heart on Feb. 14th as well as everything else.
Again, I wanted creativity to rule here since there weren't any real editing rules. I hope some people like it. Thanks.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments and generous votes. I know this is out there, kinda doesn't make sense, etc. But I had fun with it and learned along the way. You know I am getting the feeling I will never get Blue. I like to place in top 3. But something about completing that rainbow. Oh well. Can never be disappointed with successful shot. Okay, until next time.....

I love the concept, My Friend. This is a "Slam Dunk" 10 in my book! You are tops, Dude! Hilarity, Creativity, "Pushing-the-envelope" will always get high marks from me. These qualities show that you are childlike (i.e. ALIVE!!!!) on the inside.
It is my humble opinion that unhappy childhoods cause adults who are too often serious. KEEP on spreading the JOY! :)
Hey Beau: very nice work with lots of movement and hyper activity to give the image that cool surreal look. Outstanding work with the creativity and the execution.
THis was my No 1 Well done,It's totally beyond me how you got so many low scores.Perhaps those that gave the 1's 2's and 3's might give us their thoughts ??
Outstanding job, Cutter! The only thing I don't like is the desat. I would like to see the whole thing in color. Could be wrong though. Obviously MANY people loved it! :) Congratulations!
Clever, but it bothers me.....It makes me feel sickly, sorry. I have always been squirmish with any type of offel, kidneys, heart, and liver, etc, can't touch it or eat it, of even look at it.....but apart from that, this is a very good photo.
I like it.
but the colored hearts look like they are superimposed into the picture because of the black and white; all the different "you's" are well put together, it's the hearts tht look fake!!
great composition...you obviously took advantage of the rules for this and you did it to good effect. I went to buy hearts at the supermarket and they didn't have any at 11pm! You must have had them all!
