 Always wanted to try "Pattern" challenge and finally I got my chance :)

It took me something like 1 hour to make those heart-shaped tubes. I needed a few A4 paper sheets, scissors and 2-side sticky tape.

The setup was very simple: I've put a piece of tracing paper on a sheet of glass and then the paper tubes. The light was just a single 50W halogen bulb from below. I also set my camera's WB to tungsten light so I got the purple colour.

Processing (almost none):
Rotate
Crop
Resize
Sharpen
Save 4 web
NI

Hope You like it:)

This just doesn't speak to me. Sorry.

Art speaks differently to different people.

I'm not sure what color ribbon this is. Looks like taupe, but I'm leaning toward blue. I do know it's a 10 and my top pick. Awesome!

Very nice paper pattern. I like that some of the hearts are more dark and others lighter. Back to bump you up to 8.

I like how you lit this and used purple as opposed to more predictable red. 8

Very nice looking. What are they? It's hard to tell, but I really like it.

I like it, but it looks more like a graphic rather than a photograph -6
