Bokeh hearts. Happy Valentines Day.

What a faff! I thought I would try these bokeh hearts for Valentines Day, but was not sure what to do with them. It proved to be anything but straight forward! A blur of nothing, then too big, too small, too nothing like hearts!! 12 candles later I finally got a result. The other part of the image was to take a silhouette of my "Valentine", which was also not easy. Ended up using off camera flash (which I know nothing about) to get the desired effect. Using layers in Photoshop a peeling paint layer was added for texture, then a red and and orange layer, of varying opacity.
