This kind of successfully stong graphic image seems to subvert the photographic medium to the non-photographic purpose. Or is it a deliberately provocative philosophic ambiguity that raises the question: when is a photograph not a photograph? -tv

Thank you for the explanation, Lydia, as I couldn't figure out how you had done this. Very clever...and nice!

If you hadn't said this was a photo, I would have thought this was mostly PS work because of the "o", the end of the "e" and the other subtle differences in the shadow from the cutout letters. Weird huh! Very pretty though and would make a great Valentine's card! :-D CJ

Wow, it's amazing then (the photograph). Very well done, Lydia.

It is a pure photograph, not photoshopped other than the normal stuff.

I cut out the 'love' from heart paper and then held it above the red paper with some sticky stuff, far enough away to cause the shadow to be where I wanted it. ~Lydia

Hope we are not piling on you, Lydia. But is this a photo or a graphic art. Just wondering.

Thanks, Penny! *grin*

Sorry, Brent and Rod. Must be a girl thing, but isn't it cool how the heart in the 'o' is only an illusion, and the shadow shows the real thing? ~Lydia

LOL at Rod! What can I say Lydia, I'm a guy. This makes me think of those uncomfortable moments in the greeting card isle that come up a couple of times a year. Sorry! It might be a hit with the girls though :-)
