Two In The Morning, Kent [Love At First Light, Redux]

Please note: This is an alternative version of the original www.flickr.com/photos/flatworldsedge/5022793280/ provided in response to some comments to that picture.

 

The original is a single all in camera light painting.

 

This version uses a longer exposed background (271 secs instead of 229 secs in the original) and drops in via Photoshop 7.0 just the light painted couple and not the floating hearts. Perhaps it is a slightly more pleasing exposure of the scene, and some comments had opined that the hearts were a little too whimsical or distracting. There's no GND on this one either, so the sky is a smoother purple throughout.

 

I much prefer the original; I like the whimsy of the hearts and the colours are slightly stranger, especially the green. Still, I thought I'd post this version having created it whilst musing over people's suggestions. Please don't feel burdened to comment on the redux, but I do hope it is of interest to those involved in the discussion.
