[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This was once a snapshot, taken during a rushed location recce for a commercial shoot. While compiling selects in Photoshop Browser, views of this paddy shot from opposite directions nestled up against one another and I saw the vague outline of a heart. Selecting the best half-heart, I flipped a layer over and--voila!

My luck didn't end there. I was fortunate to capture sharp outlines due to the high contrast between soil and greenery. I normally wouldn't dash out to shoot muddy paddies--I was only seeking a site that would have short green "race track" paddies during an ad shoot a few weeks later. And what are the chances the soil would be red? Not much in most parts of Bali. Strangest yet, only after editing this composite did I look up and notice the date. I'd been too busy chasing rice to notice it was Valentine's Day! Good thing I had a card for my sweetie...

Lots and lots and lots of luck. It all goes to show...the more you shoot, the luckier you get. f/8 and be there, they say. Or in this case f/13.
