Here's my first challenge I'm entering with my Canon 300D...hope it does well.

"Borrowed" the title from BoA's song "Every Heart"...couldn't really come up with anything catchy.

So, I just got my wooden mannequin in the mail today and decided to use it for this shot. The heart was cut out from playing card.

May not be the best photo ever...but it looks pretty good to me plus it's too late (or I'm too lazy) for a reshoot.

These little mannequins are great learning tools, the tough part is trying to use them in an original way....which is something I still need to do.

Glad you like the photo, although I was a bit dissapointed with my placing I figure if a few people like it then the placement doesn't matter.

Thanks for taking the time to comment on my entry everyone.

Manikins have been done to death, but this does still work. On this site at least it helps not to anaesthetise the audince with overtly familiar subjects. After all what's it really trying to say anyway? What's the metaphor here? Subject is a little low in the composition - nice tones.

sweet, endearing, bloody well taken shot this is. i love the focus and the dark lighting. the red heart is a brilliant choice of subject for a challenge of this type - and unlike maky shots here, t looks like it has been done for a reason to really draw ones attention to something specific. 10.

Beautiful! Love the simplicity and subtleness of this shot. The composition is good and it is not overpowering, makes just the right statement.

I wonder, is this Mr Setzler? If not go here: //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=38082 another great shot with one of these models.

Beautiful shot, I've seen some great shots with these models, I have to get one!!!

PS I'm NOT accusing you of copying or anything, just thought you might like to see another beautiful shot.

I expect to see this in the top 3
It gets a 10 from me
