Contest comments:

jerostone: Sorry, should it be just one heart shown in the image? (2 years and 137 days ago)
nofue: If we can have more hearts for the same price, let it be as many hearts as you think fit. However, at least one heart should be seen clearly -- uh, and no heart surgery, please. Or anything bloody in general. (2 years and 137 days ago)

final rank: 3 out of 65 (final score: 55.6 %)

This was made with a stencil and a piece of transparent, colored paper placed underneath. Then the entire thing was secured against the window pane, to ensure lucidity

Magic in the hearts - created by Stoli4naq

Magic in the hearts photo
final rank: 4 out of 65 (final score: 55 %)

Well, as usual I got this terrific idea.. but here comes the "but" - with my "remarkable" skills lol it took me almost six (omg) hours to get this right.. that included my trip to the slocal pub to get myself a lighter. Yep, I'm stubborn like this sometimes lol ))
So one of the hearts is made with a lighter, the other with a red flash light. Then light the candle for five'ish seconds plus some soft external light.
I am happy with the outcome, it looks as romantic and sweet as I wanted it, although not as "professional". I hope you guys like it too :)
