At 25, I can't cut hearts in equal shapes...

But I can make it to #134 on explore & shoot fruit! lol took me awhile and as you can see, the hearts aren't the same size/shape... For those of you who don't know what Explore is, it's basically a formula that determines the most interesting shots of the day. Top 500 are considered "In explore". Sounds like a lot of pictures until you see the "5430 photos uploaded in the last minute" It's kinda rewarding - and the formula is always changing.

Nice work

Did you try to use a paper template to make the cut-outs?

The shot itself is lovely and well lit apart from the backround, I don't like the table's edge cutting into the red wall.

non the less

Yeah, tried the whole paper thing. I can't cut paper hearts either

Find heart cookie cutters. Press them in just deep enough for the outline and work from there.

I love the idea and set up and the ececution for the most part! The specular highlights need to go though!

You can't win em all. I try to do as little removal of those things as I can. I like it.

I like it

The hearts don't have to be perfect in my opinion. We adults go for perfect, so when I want something to look natural I hand it over to a child.
