The Sign of Love
by Vikas

Certainly not an original idea, just my take of it using my mother's reading glasses.....


other sizes: small medium original auto

This always brings a smile to me. But, alas, it is IMHO cliche. - Pops

This idea will always be appealing, no matter how many times its repeated!

Thanks Ann. The book the glasses are sitting on is called, "The Glass Palace" by Amitav Ghosh and is a fascinating novel about three generations set in Mandalay. Not exactly a romantic novel though.... Vikas.

I like this very much Vikas. Is this a romance novel that the glasses are sitting on? Ann

Thanks Georgia/Phyllis.....yes I had this idea in mind before taking the shot and then it was a matter of setting it up and clicking the shutter. :-) ..... Vikas.

This is truly outstanding! Very creative and effective. Did you discover this by accident or realize it would make a heart and plan the shot from this idea?

Dynamite image! Very creative!

Thanks Anna. Did try this with warm colours (actually shot the original in tungsten light so was warm and yellow to begin with), but found that the heart shaped shadow cast by the glasses came out much better in B&W so converted it to black and white since the shadow was the dominant part of this pic..... Vikas.

I never saw this one before, original or not. Nice shot, perhaps some warm color instead of white might increase the mood?

Thanks Fretnomore, yes you are correct, should have chosen a better page to put these glasses on but this page kind of opened out just right to get the heart shape... :-) ... Vikas

Very clever, original or not. Nicely done! I'm not sure about the text though, maybe something more obviously romantic would help, from what I can read it doesn't seem like a very happy text. (?)
