A twist on my other shot from the Shadows challenge. The same but with 2 light sources. I chose a page in the book about marriage this time - unfortunatly it's on the same page as marrows.

I taped paper on my lamp to so that only half the book was lit, then I clipped a flashlight onto my fly so that I could kneel taking the photo and light the other heart at the same time, controling the direction of the flashlight with some dodgy looking hip movements. Quite a clumsy setup but I think it worked pretty well :)

The torch I used was blue, so was the filter, so when I changed the hue everything went a nice reddy-pinky-romanticy colour :)

Sorry about that...
What I was trying to get across, was that I thought someone was copying your original picture, the one from the Shadows II Challenge, and I didn't think that was quite fair.

I agree with Nazgul - you take a beautiful picture, but seeing the same type of image in two challenges, lessens the impact of a very nice shot.

Still scoring well with new adaption! Great job.

I really like this shot. If this aint Ben's shot, you did a great job honouring his work. I love the title as well, kinda like a continuation of the first, like in a series. The only thing I dont like is the shading on the top half. Whether is was intentional or not (lloks like it was to darken the top heart) I find it takes a tad away from it. Just my opinion tho. Good luck! This may ribbon! 8

I've seen this before, it's a pretty fun idea. It would have been fun if the words on the page that are in the light related to love!

And excellent evolution of Kondanor's tutorial. This is a great example of taking a fun idea and running with it. I like the way the two hearts end up with differing shades of red. And the placement with marriage is also excellent in holding with the two hearts idea. 10.

I don't doubt you reshot this for the challenge, but I swear I've seen this exact image in an earlier challenge -- maybe even by you!

I,m curious to know the creator of this one. Is this Knador that already did this //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=43950 or a copy cat ?

Nice picture nonetheless.

I would have maybe worked at the lighting a little more to get it more even across the entire book.

Aha - great rip-off of the original! Very nice exposure, exceptional composition, perfect focus. For the final "W"W" - try it again with a love poem or other more appropriate text on the page.

a.k.a. An homage to an early Konador. Sorry, couldn't resist. I like the straight on perspective giving a double heart.

Kinda cool! I like the visual effect of the lighting to make the heart!

Great adaption of Konador's shot. I think your title is perfect, really adds that little bit extra to the shot. The white balance is good, focus is great, I really like this.
The only thing I might have liked was to have seen the title marriage a little clearer, maybe moved it down in line with the lens if that had been possible. Full marks though!

Nice idea for this challenge. I think this photo is executed well- good focus, exposure and cropping.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice multi-source take on it! Konador should be proud ... assuming you're not him of course :) A little more saturation in the hearts would be great, but presumably not possible with the multiple lights.

haven't we see this before? ;) It is still very nice and the multiple light sources work well!

marriage is obscured. nice job though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Oooh, this is going to be controversial. I've never seen it done with two hearts before, that is clever. It is a nice idea to put it on the definition of marriage page too. Good luck, hope you survive the comments :-)

Um...unless you're Konador, this looks suspiciously a lot like the "Love" submission ( and ribbon winner! ) for the Shadows II Challenge...

I'm voting as if you are cribbing from yourself and are Konador, if not please deduct three points.

Clever

The lighting in this is wonderful and so clever.

I bet you already got a lot of comments on this picture concerning the subject??? I think thought that it is a really nice picture, but maybe next time you can focus a bit more on the words that get lit (sure, I see marriage there, but it is almost in the shadows...)

My mark isn't going to be biased by this - but this looks extremely similar to an entry from last year - maybe it's the same photographer. You may find that your marks suffer from DPCers who don't like to see the same thing more than once. Overall though, I really like this one - 9

Nice photo, and the effect still works, but it's not quite as original as the first 100 times I've seen it....
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Excellent. Love IS considered to be a "light source" by the spiritually enlightened?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Highly accomplished technically, though just seeming to lack an edge of clarity around the text - sharpening? see also divorce :-) - catches my eye. 6

The best use of a filter I've seen in a while...

Nice twist on an old shot. Well done.

Here, I think Konador can teach you how to make this shot perfect... //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=43950
