i think i know who this is! btw.. great photo!!

We have seen this kind quite often, not so stunning anymore, sorry.

friiskiwi, i don't think its about the originality of the photo, but what is in the photo that fits the theme spot on..

I agree with friiskiwi. This has been done a lot and not really your idea, author.

I think the topic was to present "the most valuable/memorable items in your home." I know that this composition is mostly boring, but i used to replace my mother with the ring my feelings with the heart.

I've seen it a lot and have done it myself and still think it's beautiful. I like the different interpritations people come up with it to be honest

I love the light used! an original take on a classic shot

I am not tired of seeing it at all, especially since I am new to photography. I have only seen this done 3 times and it is still beautiful and artistic to me. Just my opinion.
Love this and the story behind the book and the ring!!

yes I do agree, this same photo is all over google when you search Love and photos. its real common.

I think every one of you who made a negative comment about this should be ashamed of yourselves. Every single one of you has posted a shot that has been overdone, is this original? No probably not but that doesn't mean it's a bad photograph. I've said it before and I'll say it again how many shots of waterdroplets on flowers do we still get that win contests, or b&w shots on a black background? If your not going to give constructive criticism then don't comment at all. One person was bad enough but 3 people!?!? And two of you are top members to boot. You should know better. If it doesn't wow you, or you thinks its to overdone fine you are certainly entitled to your own opinion but keep it to yourself, comments like that have no place here.

Very well said locksmagic!! Thank you!!!

Water droplets should NEVER win!

Oh HELL!!!! I wasn't saying it was a bad photo it was just not a very original idea and used a lot.. Sheeeesh.....

Well said Lock's.............. I couldn't have said it better myself..................unusual for me I know......

Nice memory. Might have cropped it a bit closer

I completely agree, a little cropping!

A little cropping, yes, but it's also very centered. (don't forget the rule of third)

a very pretty ring

her hand looks kind of purple.

I think this shots a great idea just one suggestion though. Stand back a bit more from the object so it will be more in focus and then you can crop it to this size. Nice set up though!

Nice composition, but it is a touch OOF

Nice, but might have cropped a little closer to cut out that glare on the wall
