A Little Kiss Under the Mistletoe... Droid

[RoryoCox]

This is my entry to the Photography contest. I went further into effects than before adding the smoke effect. I actually took about 10 shots to get the original image right as the light was hard to get right. I think this final version is totally different to anything I have ever done before.

The smoke is formed to make the shape of a heart.

I hope you like my entry. Comments and criticism are very welcome

Was the smoke a practical effect or photoshop smoke?

Both. I put a little bit of smoke on while taking the photo but the effect was very weak. I added some more smoke via editing.

Nice, real nice Burman

I really like the smoke effect, very well done photo editing! My only small nitpick is the choice of droids, though they are supposed to be 'neuter', I see both of them as 'masculine' astromechs. Maybe if you used a red or green astromech paired with R2, it would've been better IMO. But that's just a minor observation, the quality of your entry is great as it is. Great job Burman and good luck in the contest!

Smoke effect in shape of heart (?) is great!

Misteltoe is nice, too!
