happy valentines day - pink gerbera with a heart of chocolate!
I photographed the gerbera I purchased yesterday against the black armchair. I merged a photo of the chocolate heart (red) into the centre of the gerbera daisy and added a black background. Do you like it?

Very nice idea. It would also work with an engagement ring or an apartment key. But then again nothing beats chocolate.

OH, YOU'RE SO SMART.
I wondered why it looked like the center was heart shaped, when I saw this small. Hope you have a Happy one also!
Love the photo.
The black on the right side is all I would change.
I like the flower shadow just on the grey. More like your ICON.
Cheers.

this is shockingly good
I saw this in the VIVID group and I faved it.
Vanessa Pike-Russell (76 months ago | reply)
@ Rowydmnm - Thank you! I did think about cropping it to the shape suggested i nthe note on this image but wanted to create a square photo. I've realised I have a similar shot of a gerbera that I can merge with the chocolate and make a similar composition.
@ Darwin Bell - thank you! I think I shocked myself :)
