• I love the way the red/pink just happened to form the bottom two parts of the heart. It couldn't have been timed any better. - bobbarley

when your heart's in someone else's hands

"When your heart's in someone else's hands, monkey see and monkey do; their wish is your command. You're not to blame, everyone's the same. All you do is love and love is all you do; I should know by now, the way I fought for you"
(George Michael: Cowboys and Angels)

I'm gonna be really honest, I get lucky every time. The main colours coming out are pinks and reds, but then you get the blue and greens too. It's just luck..
I was trying to illustrate a heart in the hands of someone else, this song came up on my iTunes and this is the first line. When I decided I couldn't do it, and blew the drawings I had done up on the computer, I found this and was mighty happy. My hand just sits in the middle, it's perfect. I drew the little squiggle for no reason in particular, but it's kind of cool.

What Do I Use As a Light Source?

    As far as i know, the photo can just come on explore the day you uploaded it. And, the more groups you post it in, the less is the chance for your photo to reach explore. I've read that more than 5 groups will kill your chance to get it on explore.. Search for "flickr interestingness" on google :)

    Nice photo, btw!

    Sorry. I don't agree with you on this one. This one IS perfection. I see no way to improve it. You're too hard to please!

    And what are you doing with George Michael on your Ipod?
